Input: brightness of the light
Output: solenoid (push an object)
Solenoid: “A solenoid is an electromagnetic device that converts electrical current into mechanical motion. ” | reference link
Solenoid actuator VS DC motor: “Put simply, an actuator is a device that produces motion from energy. DC motors, servos, stepper motors, and solenoids are all actuators as they convert electrical energy into movement.” | reference link
A youtube tutorial video that I referred to: link
【very useful link】For transistor – ITP page | link
Since there isn’t a solenoid in thinkercad, I decided to use a lightbulb to simulate the circuit / the circuit.
and this is our circuit (special thanks to Andrew for building the circuit, i was having my quiz when he was building it🥸)
