Week 3: Working with Breadboard Circuits

LEDs light up as the microcontroller reads instructions from file

To gain an understanding of how circuits work, the team built a simple circuit using the Breadboard to operate LEDs. The circuit works by reading a stimulus file from the computer and operating the LEDs based on the trials in that stimulus file. This test will help the team to determine the proper functionality of components and algorithms before adding actual sensors.

In the video, you can see the LEDs light up as the microcontroller reads instructions from the stimulus file. Through this experiment the team was able to gain an insight into the functionality of microcontrollers, algorithms, and circuits, and simultaneously test the apparatus which will be implemented in the prototype in the future.
