LED Flasher
- Function of the circuit: To make the LED flash

- Components used in the circuit (listing with basic definitions): IC 555, green LED, ten wires, a Capacitor, three Resisters and a Breadboard

A IC 555 is a microscopic circuit etched on a chip A LED is a Light -Emitting Diode j A Resistor is a electronic device that resists the flow of electricity A Capacitor is a a electronic device that stores up electricity and releases electricity very quickly A Breadboard is a machine that is used to build the curcuits on

- The difficulties encountered while creating the circuit: Making sure that the IC 555 was in the right direction, right wiring, seeing the LED was in right direction and having a right size capacitor.

//__In this blog prompt, please write a paragraph long entry (5-6 sentences with a intro and concluding sentence) that addresses what you enjoyed during this trimester and what you have learned. You can also comment on what you would like to improve upon for next trimester or what was difficult for you. Feel free to comment on our snakes- Peppermint and Diablo if you would like to as well as the technology that you enjoyed this trimester. Please check your spelling and grammar as this blog entry may appear in your end of trimester comment. You may want to write it in Microsoft Word to check the spelling, etc. and then copy it in the blog.__//

Entry: The thing I enjoyed the most is when we got to make the circuits. The flashing LED glowed but it was fun to make. Next trimester could we PLEASE do more circuity. I can improve on my wiki entries. I can write more in the wiki's and make my parogharps more bluky.
