- Adafruit’s guide on different types of switches

- On paper, sketch out an imagined switch that controls a system (represented by an LED turining on or off). Make a circuit that realizes this sketch. What does this indicate? How is the action of using the switch relate to the light turining on? Clearly document your switch with video and post the sketch and video on your class journal. Now do it again, building a totally differrent switch that indicates something else. Document this and post it to your site. Write a brief description of how each works, what the light signifies, and how the input relates to the output. Bring at least one of these switches to class.
- You may work in pairs on this project. If you do, make the same post on each documentation site.
