Lecture 2 :
Example circuit simulation in Tinkcercad
In this video, we have discussed 4 example circuits given by the Tinkercad team as a getting started guide. In the first circuit, an LED is connected with a battery and resistor and we learn how to start the simulation. In the second circuit, we learn about changing the elements in an existing circuit. In the third circuit, we learn how to connect new wires in a partially connected circuit and color conventions of power and ground lines. In the fourth circuit, we have learned about removing and adding new elements in the circuit. We control the speed of a motor in this example.
Lecture 3 :
Create your first circuit in Tinkercad LED and motor controls
In this video, we have explained how to make your first circuit using Tinkercad. We have discussed connecting an LED with a battery and a resistor. Then we connect a slide-switch to control the switching on and off of the LED. In the same, we talk about driving a DC motor with a battery. We also discuss how to drive multiple motors using the same batter. In the end, we have discussed controlling the speed of the motor using a photoresistor.

In this video, we learn about current boosting for a DC motor. The current boosting is done with the IC L293D and we use a breadboard to connect the IC with the Arduino board and the motors. The circuit is available at https://www.tinkercad.com/things/5RvTKe3aQ7N
Lecture 4 :
Detecting Light Intensity with Arduino and decision making
In this video, we learn about photoresistors and how to use this to make a potential divider. Then, we use this potential divider to decide if an LED should be on or off at a particular level of light intensity. The circuit is available at https://www.tinkercad.com/things/dog8nmX2mjc
Lecture 5 :
Light controlled robot with Photoresistor
In this video, we merge all the concepts taught in this section and make a robot that is controlled by the intensity of light falling on the photoresistor attached to its body. the circuit is available here https://www.tinkercad.com/things/9km5MOqVUxI
