 +===== first oscillator: astable multivibrator ===== 
 + 
 +First one is a good tutorial on building the circuit; I followed this spec. The second one is a good explanation of why it works.

 +  * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZ0YZcC84m4 
 + 
 +This is a good technical description of the astable multivibrator: 
 +  * https://www.electronics-tutorials.ws/waveforms/astable.html 
 + 
 +Here's an [[led-oscillator|astable multivibrator with potentiometer to control oscillation speed]]. 
 + 
 +Use an astable vibrator to produce audio: 
 + 
 +===== Force Sensitive Resistor ===== 
 + 
 +A good tutorial on force-sensitive resistors: https://lastminuteengineers.com/fsr-arduino-tutorial/ 
 + 
 +Here's [[electronics-fsr-01|a circuit which uses an FSR to control an LED.]] 
 + 
 +===== exercises =====  
 + 
 +  * [[electronics-series-parallel|compare the difference between three LEDs in series and parallel]] 
 +  * [[electronics-switch-green-red|a circuit with a switch to alternate between green and red LEDs]]
