breadboard problem

[heavy pelican]

Is this in series or not?

Hi, no. Led diodes are parallel connected.

[heavy pelican]

Ok let me connect them in series to make sure that I got it right. Give me two seconds please I’ll get back to you. Thanks/

Above message

Why is this not in series?

[heavy pelican]

Only one of the bulbs lights up

:/

[thin token]

No!! it's in the short circuit!!!!

don´t turn on!!

[heavy pelican]

Ahhhh what do you mean?

What did I do wrong?

Another configuration

[heavy pelican]

Only one light lights up in this case too

Which means it’s not in series either

[thin token]

But it is not in series!

wait!

first learn this:

you you must not connect two diode´s legs to the same row!

reason, why the second LED lights is here -> its not in short circuit!

[heavy pelican]

Both of them lit up this time around :p

[thin token]

but the first yes

[thin token]

perfect

[thin token]

learn this, or you can break a expensive IO.

[heavy pelican]

Why’s that?

[heavy pelican]

Why did it not work over here?

[heavy pelican]

Dang

[thin token]

because you connected led´s legs together

[heavy pelican]

Uhm I’m sorry I’m dumb

But why’s that a problem?

They were in two different holes

[thin token]

you connected your led like this:

wrong and dangerous for electronics.

[thin token]

let me explain it in your photo.

[heavy pelican]

Could you draw the path of current

Using a marker?

Like why did one of them lit up and the other didn’t?

Where where the electrons flowing

[thin token]

look at this:

the red wires are connected together.

horizontally.

not vertically, but 5 holes are connected and you must to remember it.

[heavy pelican]

No?

[heavy pelican]

I am aware of the five hole thinfg

[thin token]

no

[heavy pelican]

Did I get the orange part wrong or the read one?

Where did i fuck up?

[heavy pelican]

Ohhhhhhh

[heavy pelican]

But why did this happen?

Should the current flow to the first led too?

[thin token]

Can't electric current go through the PN-junction if it's shorted... If an electronic component is shorted, it doesn't work. The current will pass through the connection point (the legs of the component) and go to the next led.

[heavy pelican]

Could you suggest some good YouTube tutorials on this?

I’d like to learn more

[thin token]

about PN junction?

of course

try and learn about breadboard from this:

don´t forget to read some chapter about electronics and pn junction
