Introduction to Breadboard (Protoboards), Part 2 of 2
This video continues part 1 by showing how a breadboard, also called a protoboard, is used to build electronic circuits without soldering, by guiding the student through 10 steps to build a blinking LED circuit based on the 555 IC timer chip. The circuit also needs 3 resistors, 1k, 4.7k, and 10k. It also requires [...]
Introduction to Breadboard (Protoboards), Part 1 of 2
This video introduces the breadboard, also called a protoboard, used to build electronic circuits without soldering. The first part of this presentation describes the features of a breadboard. A breadboard (protoboard) is a construction base for a one-of-a-kind electronic circuit, a prototype. In modern times the term is commonly used to refer to a particular [...]
Huge Defunct Satellite Falling to Earth Faster Than Expected, NASA Says
NASA space junk experts have refined the forecast for the anticipated death plunge of a giant satellite, with the U.S. space agency now predicting the 6 1/2-ton climate probe will plummet to Earth around Sept. 23, a day earlier than previously reported. The defunct bus-size spacecraft is NASA’s Upper Atmospheric Research Satellite (UARS), which launched [...]
