Simple question about the demo projects with the Uno

radman:

My simple question (that is probably very silly) is, why do the tutorials ask me to write up a positive feed to the breadboard when nothing appears to connect to it?

I am glad you asked that question because I was wondering too.

Here are a couple of other newbie questions I hope people will not mind me grafting on here;

  • How did you get the circuit diagram to insert into the post?
  • If I put a continuity meter between the 5V and the GND in your diagram I get a "bell" i.e. short. That is not what I was expecting, but there is probably a very good reason for it which I hope somebody can (simply) explain.

To put a picture into your post just get its URL and then do this :
