Led Flasher
- Function of the circuit: This circuit is designed to make an LED light flash - Components used in the circuit (listing with basic definitions): Resistors, to lower the current of the circuit R1-yel-vio-red R2-brn-blk-org R3-brn-blk-red LED light, the indicator 555 IC, to connect the 2 sides of the circuit C1 capacitor, decides the pulse rate of the LED.

- Explanation of difficulties encountered while creating the circuit: A difficulty of building the circuit was finding the correct components of the circuit for it to work properly.

555 "Black Box" circuit
- Function of the circuit: This was built to see how resistors and capictors work by themselves.

- Components used in the circuit (listing with basic definitions): 555 IC, to test the circuit, resistors, to lower the current of the circuit and change the tone of the speaker and buzzer, the C1 UF is to connect the buzzer to the circuit,

- Explanation of difficulties encountered while creating the circuit: A difficulty while building this circuit was putting every single wire and other component in the correct spot. There were so many different parts, it was hard to find the correct part to add each time.

LED Alternating Flasher Circuit
- Function of the circuit: This circuit is to show how the current in a circuit can change to make different parts of a circuit work

- Components used in the circuit (listing with basic definitions): Red and green LED-to show that the circuit functions Resistors-lower the current to prevent the circuit from blowing out IC-integrated circuits to connect the 2 sides of the circuit capacitors-what decides the flash rate of the LED's - Explanation of difficulties encountered while creating the circuit: A difficulty while building this circuit was putting every single wire and other component in the correct spot. There were so many different parts, it was hard to find the correct part to add each time.
