Another example might be when you have a sensor that produces a voltage between 0 and 10V but you want to connect it to an Arduino microcontroller that expects it to be between 0 and 5V. indd 35 35 Figure 3-4 shows the schematic diagram for our experiment. There are a couple of new schematic symbols here. The first is the variable resistor (or pot). This looks like a regular resistor symbol, but has a line with an arrow connecting to the resistor. This is the moving slider connection of the variable resistor.

Being made of a single strand of wire does mean it is much easier to push into sockets when prototyping since it doesn’t bunch up like multi-core wire. When using it with breadboard, you can either buy alreadystripped lengths of wire in various colors as a kit (see Appendix, T6) or reels of wire that you can cut to the lengths you want yourself (see Appendix, T7, T8, T9). indd 5 12/26/12 12:08 PM HowTo-Color (8) / Hacking Electronics / Simon Monk / 236-3 / Chapter 1 6 Hacking Electronics three colors: red, yellow, and black are a good choice.

Our voltage in is going to be supplied from the battery pack and will be roughly 6V. We are going to use a multimeter to measure the output voltage and see how much it is being reduced by our voltage divider. If you remember, the grey bars indicate where the connections underneath the holes are connected together. Take some time to follow the lines on the stripboard and reassure yourself that everything is connected in the same way as the schematic (Figure 3-4). Plug the trimpot into the breadboard as shown, and then wire up the battery by carefully pushing the leads into the + and – power supply lines on the breadboard: red to +, black to –.
