LED SIGNS.

 Hello readers today I'm going to be making a new blog post about LED Signs. In the past few weeks, we have been trying to make LED signs. At first I thought that our class was going to be about make door signs, because when we chose our options, it said door signs. After, we watched a video about soldering, I find it difficult to solder because the project is really small. We also learnt about what resistors do, A resistor is a passive electrical component with the primary function to limit the flow of electric current. We needed to use resistors for the LED or they will be to hot and burn. When designing the sign, the first thing I thought of was my name. 


I thought it would look cool with my name on it. The next thing we did was, choose a colour of our choice there we different colours. Red, green, white and Multicoloured. I chose multicoloured, I was imagining my design in my mind and it looked really cool. We all got 3 leds and 3 resistors, We soldered our resistors to a piece of metal after, we soldered the LED in the tip of the resistors. After finishing the leds and the resistors, we got our acrylic box pieced. Removing the paper protection around it was one of the most difficult things we have done in this class. We got blisters on our fingers specially our thumbs. We used the glue gun to get the pieced together. The glue dried really fast so we also had to move fast. After finishing the gluing, we also glued the led inside the box. We put the sign above the hole on the box and now it is finished. This is what we did. Please comment on my blog post and give me some feedback about my writing.
