 The brightness is almost as bright as the on with resistor 2 which is weird becuase resistor 2 has a greater resistor value and the bulb connected to resistor 2 should be less bright compared to this bulb. Again, it may be becuase I did not connect the wires properly on this circuit which resulted on the electricity not flowing properly. The brightness is almost as bright as the on with resistor 2 which is weird becuase resistor 2 has a greater resistor value and the bulb connected to resistor 2 should be less bright compared to this bulb.

 It was weird when the I measured the volts of the resistance it was 0. I think it is becuase all the light bulbs have used up all the electrcity and by the time the elctricity gets to the resistor, there was no more electricity left to resist. It was weird when the I measured the volts of the resistance it was 0.

 On one side of the switch when it is up, the left side and the right side. When the switch is donw, the middle and the right side of the switch form a closed circuit. So, to get alternating lights, the power is always needed so it shuld be connected to the right hole. To ensure the breadboard does not mess with the swith, the I need to make sure the other side is not plugged in. On one side of the switch when it is up, the left side and the right side.

 +===== With That, We Build A Few Simple Systems =====
 +====== Steve building an oscillator ======

 +Components:
 +  - Capacitor *2
 +  - Transistor
 +  - Wires *5
 +  - Staple bullets wires *2
 +  - 230 ohm resistor *2
 +  - 9800 9.8k ohm resistor *2
 +  - Potentiometer left high right low.

 +Both LEDs almost have a closed circuit they are blocked by a transistor. We want to activate the transistor by discharging a capacitor. So, we have to charge the capacitor first. Both capacitors do not charge at the same speed because, even though the resistors should have the same amount of resistance, they are not built perfectly so they do not. One of the capacitors will charge faster which will allow it to discharge earlier than the other. That would cause one of the LEDs to light up earlier than the other. When the other capacitor is ready to discharge, the first capacitor has already finished discharging which causes the first LED to turn off. That is how the circuit to have alternating LEDs.

 +The resistor controls the blinking speed because, the resistor controls speed the capacitor charges at. If the charging of capacitor slows down, the LED will need more time before it can turn on. I can add resistance by adding a resistor with greater resistance and doing that would slow down the current. To change the amount of resistance without swapping out parts, I can use a potentiometer.

 +===== Circuit Illustration and Explanations =====

 +{{ :steve-circuit-illustration-without-lines.png? |}}
 +
 +Resistor: Resist flow of current. Resistance is measured in ohms (Omega).
 +
 +Transistor: An electrical component that can switch circuits on and off and amplify signals
 +
 +Capacitor: Stores energy like a battery but discharges much faster
 +
 +Speaker: When it has electricity, it will move the cone back and forth which creates air pressure that we perceive as sound.
 +
 +Potentiometer: An electrical component that can change the amount of resistance.
 +
 +Momentary Switch: A switch that creates a circuit only when presses.

 +===== Projects =====
 +==== Toilet Flusher =====
 +
 +This is a button I made with the arduino for the Old Man Simulation. It works like this: When I hold donw the button , it starts a time and plays a little sound and when the simulation is done, the person clicks on the button which plays the flush sound effect by [[https://freesound.org/people/lorenzgillner/sounds/274448/|lorenzgillner]] on [[https://freesound.org/|freesound website]].

 +===== Resistor Calculator =====
 +This resistor calculator can help you find a resistor based on the colors, it can also search for a resistor in the resistors database you will be able to log into. You can also give it a number. With it, it will give you what the numbers equal to and find a resistor that in your database that matches your number. If there are not exact matches, it will find one that is closest. It all can be done with a quick way that you can enter numbers and a user interface that tells you everything that you need to know:
