Inputs and outputs
Mini Switch:
-when plugged into 1 and 3 and not pressing button:
unchecked
at zero
not present
-when in 1 and 3 and pressed
checked
at one
present
-when plugged into 1 and 2 everything is flip-flopped
Potentiometer:
-range: 38-4945
NTC Resistor:
-1668
-while warm was at 1318
Motor:
-one way to change the direction of spin is by switching the wire ports
Electromagnet:
When reed switch is touched the box becomes checked
Photo transistor:
-closer light gets the number goes down
This activity was a lot of fun and I learned how to do a lot of things I did not know before I did it.
