essentially just debugged circuits. tom told me to always put test programs (which does the bare minimum of what it’s supposed to).
we also spoke about electricity, and i feel like i have a decent grasp on it.,
current is like an intelligent river. it only flows when it knows it can flow in a loop.
if you break the loop, it doesn’t flow (credit: christina tang).
current moves from the point of highest potential to the point of lowest potential:
if there is something that consumes electricity, and converts it to, say, heat, then also the flow of electricity is established. some electrons flow to the point of low-potential.
later, we also spoke about controlling high-loads (such as a dc motor), and how we may use a diode to block current flowing in the opposite way.
