This circuit uses an IC (555 timer) to create a blinking light. Challenge: change the resistor values and see what happens to the speed of the LED blinks

It was a circuit building kinda day: Basic circuits, light dependent circuits, blinking LEDs with 555 timers, light sensors controlling noise volume circuits and memory games built with breadboards & Arduinos #hardfun #makerednz

Three challenges: 1. Build your driving base 2. Program it to go forward & back & then in a square shape 3. Add to your build to enable your robot to pick an object up #robotics #MakerEdNZ
