Introduction: TinkerCAD is a free online service for creating basic 3D shapes and developing digital prototypes of electronic components. These prototypes include basic circuits with LED lights, buzzers, switches, and even light sensors. The process used in TinkerCAD is often used for rapid prototyping. Prototyping is a process where we can develop components in a flexible manner than can be quickly updated and modified to test a variety of options when developing a project or product.

Objective: Introduce the use of TinkerCAD to learn how to create electronic circuits and display an 8-digit CUNY ID number.

Materials:

Wires:

Discussion of Results:

To turn on the 7-segment display in the order required, the following wire set up was used: Common anode F

G

A B

Where “A” through “DP” are cathodes. “A” represents the upper LED bar (1), “B” the upper right bar (2), and so on in a clockwise direction. “G” represents the middle LED bar (7) and “DP” (dot point, 8) represents the dot in the lower right side E C

D

DP

Common anode

Numbers 2 3 7 8

Wire connections needed for LED display: On A, B, D, E, G A, B, C, D, G A, B, C A, B, C, D, E, F, G

Off C, F, DP E, F, DP D, E, F, G, DP DP

Taking in consideration that one of the “Common anodes” should always be connected to a positive wire or positive breadboard connections. The desired result was obtained by placing the materials in the following position displayed. In this case, the ID number is 23737383. Notice the use of a resistor in for the positive wires (anode) and the conduction of electricity throughout the breadboard:

Conclusion: LED lightbulbs require of a positive and negative connection (anode and cathode) to turn on. Every 7-segment display was set up and connected throughout the breadboard to as neatly as possible for the optimization of material and a better understanding of the circuit....
