Section 2.1 - TinkerCAD & Wiring an LED
Our first circuit!
In this lesson, you’ll be introduced to TinkerCAD, a powerful online tool for creating and simulating electronic circuits. You'll be guided through setting up a new project, wiring an LED to a 1.5V battery, and using correct wire colors in the virtual environment. Once wired, you’ll start the simulation and observe the LED illuminating, albeit dimly, due to the low voltage. This hands-on demonstration provides a foundational understanding of basic circuitry and teaches you how to use TinkerCAD to simulate real-world electronic connections.
