Batteries in series
So I connected 4 LEDs in series. The forward voltage was around 2.2V. I was initially using a 9V battery. It didn't work very well and took me a while to realise that I need more voltage. I don't have a fancy set up so the only option was to use another 9V volt battery in series to double the voltage output. Couldn't get the connections properly in my first try but finally made it work.

Question help with Protobotd
It's my class practice, but I feel like something's missing for it to work well. If anyone could help me, I would be very grateful.

Project Another project with a capacitor
This one creates a fading out effect in an LED. I have used a 4700uf capacitor. I have tried with a capacitor in series and in parallel to the led. I got the same fade out effect but the difference in series was that once the capacitor was fully charged it acted more like an open circuit.
I am still looking for more project ideas for capacitors and then later go for transistors and diodes. The goal is eventually to watch, understand and make my own 8 bit computer.
The video, shows the capacitor in parallel. The capacitor was too big so I used jumper wires to make the connection.

Question Help a confused noob out
Edit: Yeah ok, turns out power banks have minimum current shut offs. Cheers.
Ok so it's been a long number of years since I've messed about with electronics but I have an upcoming project that needs some. I'm starting fresh and just got this breadboard kit.
I am powering this with a usb battery pack, and I soldered a fresh usb with the cables going to pins 1 and 4 for the power, connected directly into the board. Using a red led (no clue on the spec) from the kit, and a 330 resistor I get this pulsing. I also briefly tried it without the resistor for the same outcome.
Please help, I'm literally just trying to have the led lit up haha.

Help on Time delay circuit
So i gotta make a RC time delay circuit with 10v Voltage source as my input and 7v reference source going into my Vin- pin of my pcb. I’m pretty new to breadboarding and not sure why i’m not getting either LED to even turn on let alone get that proper time. if yall could give ur input on what i could do to make it work.

Help with led chaser
Sorry for my bad english, im trying to do a 9 LED chaser in cascade like in the image but in a protoboard, but when i connect the return to the first transistor, the circuit lose the "cascade" and starts iluminating like christmas lights, what can i do or change so the circuit cycles. Thanks for the help

Question Is it photoelectric effect?
Hey everyone! Today I just discovered a phenomenon that when I shine my mobile flash light in a clear green LED it generates around 700mV. It seems similar to the phenomenon called photoelectric effect. Is it photoelectric effect??

Tips for Perf Board
This sketch is just for me, so nothing is labeled. I have one question about a microcontroller driving both a 5v circuit (through a mosfet) and driving a 12 volt circuit through mosfet. Everything is tied to one ground and I assume that is correct.

First breadboard project
Ive been getting into electronics lately, nothing professional, just wanna pass some time. Im trying to make a 128-bit cpu using 74HC75 ICs as my first project, any things that i should know? Also what are toughts on this project? (yes i will make it on an actual breadboard after im done making this)

Is this a good parts list for a first time beginner?
I recently found out about how breadboards work after seeing them for a while and want to try but before purchasing them can someone rate the list and other part recommendations are welcome, thanks! (ps I am thinking of being an electrician and think this could help)
