Circuit Documentation

Summary of the Circuit

The circuit described by the provided inputs is a simple LED circuit powered by a 4 x AAA battery mount. The circuit includes a single LED, a resistor, and a battery mount as the power source. The LED is connected in series with the resistor to limit the current flowing through the LED, thus protecting it from damage due to excessive current.

Component List

4 x AAA Battery Mount

  • Description: A battery mount for holding four AAA batteries.
  • Pins: Negative (-) and Positive (+)
  • Purpose: To provide a power source for the circuit.

LED: Two Pin (red)

  • Description: A red two-pin Light Emitting Diode (LED).
  • Pins: Cathode and Anode
  • Purpose: To emit light when powered.

Resistor

  • Description: A passive two-pin component used to limit current.
  • Pins: Pin1 and Pin2
  • Properties: Resistance value of 200 Ohms
  • Purpose: To limit the current flowing through the LED to prevent damage.

Documented Code

No microcontroller code was provided for this circuit. Therefore, there is no embedded code to document. This circuit operates purely on the electrical connections between the components without the need for programmed control.


This documentation provides an overview of the circuit's components, their purpose, and how they are wired together to create a functional LED lighting system. The absence of a microcontroller simplifies the circuit, making it an excellent example for educational purposes or basic electronics projects.
