Circuit Monday #8 dimmer switch

Good afternoon folks and welcome to another Circuit Monday todays circuit is dimmer switch

Components needed 

• 1 220 resistor
• 1 led 
• jumper wires
• 100k potentiometer

all my Circuits are breadboarded on the prototype board I made here 

Uses for this circuit 

this circuit can be used for a diming lights ,controlling the speed of a motor or even adjusting volume 

Step one 

place the 100k potentiometer on the board 

Step two

next up connect the 220 resistor to the third pin of the potentiometer and then to a unused row on the board 

Step three

connect the anode of the led to the resistor 

Step four

connect the cathode of the led to the negative rail of the board using a jumper wire 

Step five

connect pin one of the potentiometer to the negative rail on the broad 

Step six

connect pin 2 of the potentiometer to the positive rail the board 

Step seven

power the broad with 5 volts and test the results
