Understanding Breadboard (400 Point)

To use the Breadboard, we have to understand how the circuit is connected inside the Breadboard.

There are 2 columns with + and - signs from the left of you, then there are 5 columns named as a b c d e , then another 5 columns named as f g h i j then again + and - signs.


Only the sign lines, along the column has connection. That is, there are 4 column connection along the + and - signs to keep that 4 columns to have independent connections.


In case of the alphabet columns, the connections are not in that direction as it has with sign lines. In alphabet columns, the connection exist along the rows which are described by using the numbers from 1 to 30. Simply, there are 30 rows of conductors. With that, there is a discontinuity between e and f columns that breaks the alphabet columns into two parts as a b c d e remain in one side and f g h i j in other side. Hence, there are 60 rows of conductors.


Since, you understood the concept of the breadboard, you can now try some simple circuits with LEDs, resistors and batteries.

Try this:
Connect the LED's anode (longer leg) to e1 and shorter one to e2. Then connect a resistor's  (try with smaller ones) leg to d2 and next leg to d3. Note that in resistors you need not to worry about the direction of the flow of the current. Now connect the anode point of battery to a1 and cathode point to a3.

LED works? 😍

Hello World project in ROS on Windows 10

We've seen how to install ROS in Windows 10 in this article, this is the time to start programming. What is the very first thing we do once we setup a new Programming Language? Hello World !!! Lets see how to write Hello World in ROS on Windows machine. Before going into the programming, make sure you've installed Gedit on your Windows machine. You can get it from here. Also, setup the path for Gedit and restart your machine to ensure the path definition works. First open the ROS terminal and check for the working directory. We have to be in the catkin workspace. If you've already created it, go to that directory. Or else, create it like this. Create a src folder inside catkin_ws. Inside that newly created src folder, lets create a new package in it. The command to create a ROS package is as follows. >catkin_create_pkg [PACKAGE_NAME] [DEPENDENT_PACKAGE_1] ....[DEPENDENT_PACKAGE_N] ‘std_msgs’ and ‘roscpp’ were added as optional dependent packages...

SQL Joins

You’ll nearly always need to connect many tables if you want to extract anything useful out of data. A join clause in SQL joins columns from one or more tables into a new table, similar to a join operation in relational algebra. In this article, let’s see how the joins work in SQL. We are going to explore the following SQL Joins.   ∘ 1 — (INNER) JOIN   ∘ 2 — LEFT (OUTER) JOIN   ∘ 3 — RIGHT (OUTER) JOIN   ∘ 4 — FULL (OUTER) JOIN AND UNION   ∘ When to use it? Also, I’m going to use the following tables for the above-mentioned SQL Joins. 1 — (INNER) JOIN Returns records with values in both tables that are the same. Image from Author As long as the condition is met, the INNER JOIN keyword selects all rows from both tables. This keyword will produce a result-set by merging all rows from both tables that satisfy the criteria, i.e. the common field’s value will be the same. Syntax: SELECT table1.column1,table1.column2,table2.column1,…. FROM table1 INNER JOIN ...

Setting Up Java Development Kit in Windows 10 

How to Download, Install, and Setting Up JDK in Windows 10? What is JDK? The Java Development Kit (JDK) is a software development environment for creating applets and Java applications. JDK is an abbreviation for Java Development Kit. It is available for usage by Java developers on Windows, macOS, Solaris, and Linux. JDK assists them in writing and running Java programs. It is feasible to run multiple JDK versions on the same machine. But it's recommended to install Java on Windows 10 with the latest version. In this article, we are going to see how to set up JDK in Windows 10. Let’s divide the article into three parts.   ∘ 1 . Getting the latest JDK version for Windows 10   ∘ 2 . Installing JDK in Windows 10   ∘ 3. Setting up the environment for Java in Windows 10 Let’s see one by one. 1 . Getting the latest JDK version for Windows 10 1 — Download the latest version of JDK from here . Image by Author 2 — Select the needed setup file as per ...
