Beginning Robotics – Integrated Circuit
An integrated circuit can actually be a lot of different things. When you see a little “black box” on a circuit, you are looking at the outside (package) of an integrated circuit (IC for short). An IC is a whole…
Beginning Robotics – Solderless Breadboard
If you want to experiment with electronics, an easy way to build circuits is to use a solderless breadboard.
Beginning Robotics – Resistors
If you have ever taken an electronic gadget apart, you have probably seen these guys: This is a resistor. From the name you might guess what a resistor does: it resists the flow of electric current. Resistors are kind of…
