Circuit Documentation
Summary of the Circuit
This circuit is a simple LED control circuit powered by a 4 x AAA battery mount. It includes a red two-pin LED, a pushbutton switch, and a resistor to limit the current through the LED. The LED lights up when the pushbutton is pressed. The circuit does not include any microcontrollers or embedded code.
Component List
LED: Two Pin (red)
- Description: A red light-emitting diode (LED) with two pins: an anode and a cathode.
- Purpose: To emit light when powered and current is flowing in the correct direction.
Pushbutton
- Description: A momentary pushbutton switch with four pins: two input pins and two output pins.
- Purpose: To allow the user to control the flow of current to the LED.
Resistor
- Description: A passive two-pin component with a specified resistance.
- Purpose: To limit the current flowing through the LED, protecting it from damage.
- Properties: 200 Ohms resistance.
4 x AAA Battery Mount
- Description: A battery holder for four AAA batteries with two pins: positive and negative.
- Purpose: To provide a power source for the circuit.
