Weekend Diversion: Draw Your Own Circuits (Synopsis) [Starts With A Bang]


“Drawing is not only a way to come up with pictures: drawing is a way to educate your eye to understand visual information, organizing it into a more hierarchical way, a more economical way. When you see something, if you draw often and frequently, you examine a room very differently.” –Vik Muniz

If you’ve ever wired something up yourself and successfully hit that switch for the first time, you know what that sense of magic feels like. Have a listen to Forest City Lovers as they sing about that same feeling in a different context,

Light You Up,

while you consider how maddening circuit building can be.

Messing with loose wires is the bane of a great many physics students and teachers, from the first, basic levels of schooling all the way up through high school, college and even graduate school. Breadboards aren’t as much help as you want them to be (and can often even add an extra layer of confusion), and going from the idea of a complete circuit to a true working circuit often proves elusive.

Until, that is, now.
