Day 4 Logic Probe



A logic probe was created. This was done with a transistor and a light. The purpose of a logic probe is to determine the function of a circuit. The transistor is useful for this as it detects current. The greater the current entering the probe, the brighter the light as it would open up the valve to allow current to flow from the collector to the emitter.

This was also our first circuit board soldering exercise.
