Random Number Generator
DEFINE A PROBLEM:
GENERATE CONCEPTS:
With this project the goals were to learn how to solder electrical circuit boards, make an electrical die, and do so with the given time and components.
EVALUATE THE SOLUTION:
The picture above won't rotate. Sorry.
In this project I was able to learn basic soldering skills, and was able to successfully put together a Random Number Generator. In the beginning of this project I was not able to solder as fast as I would have wanted, because my soldering iron was never hot enough, so I would have to put the solder against the soldering iron and wait for about 30 seconds every time that I wanted to solder something. So on the first day I fell behind, and was struggling to catch up for the rest of the days. On Tuesday I was able to catch up however, because my soldering iron was so good that it instantly melted the solder as soon as they came into contact with each other, which allowed me to finish my board that same day. However quickly rushing through resulted in some of my LED’s not being flush with the circuit board. If I had had more time in this project I definitely would have made sure that every component was flush with the circuit board, and made sure that all of the soldering was better. However overall I am very pleased with the end result and am glad to have had the opportunity to learn these basic soldering skills.
