Why do we always include a resistor in our circuits?
(this question was written by students in 2025 during lunch)
So you don't lose aura
So that Mr. Luong doesn't get mad (no more Mr. Nice Guy)
To limit current so that you don't fry the arduino board & LEDs
So that the evil doesn't escape (Kaboom)
What should you check if your circuit isn't working?
Remake the circuit in a different spot on the board
(these older boards are starting to develop dead spots)
Test if the circuit works with a replacement part LED/Button/Piezo/etc
Check to see if it looks like your diagram in TinkerCAD
Ask a neighbor to take a look at your circuit
Before you move your parts around, you should make sure that...
POWER IS OFF to avoid short circuits
POWER IS ON so that you can immediately test your changes
What is the MAIN benefit of connecting all our resistors to ground/power?
We guarantee that any possible path must go through a resistor
It looks cool
To ground a circuit you must include a resistor
Why is a short circuit dangerous?
Definition of short circuit:
When there is a path through a circuit with little to no resistance
The extremely high current can permanently damage the arduino board & other parts
($25+)
Trick Question: Short Circuits are not dangerous
There is no voltage if there is minimal resistance
Electricity cannot flow in a short circuit
These LEDs are in...

This is an example of a working button
Based on this, a button connects in which way when pressed?
horizontally
(the right side connects to the left side)
vertically
(the top right connects to the bottom right)
