Integrated Circuit (IC) -
An Integrated Circuit also know
as an IC is a whole circuit itself
but very very small and made
of Silicon. The chip in this cir-
cuit is a 555 timer chip one of
the commonly used chips in the
world made up of 25 transistors, 2
diodes and 15 resistors.
Resistors -
Resistors are used in a circuit to
restrict the flow of electrical cur-
rent and stop things from blowing
up! The resistors in measured in
Ohms.
Electrolytic Capacitor -
A capacitor is like a big bucket, it
stores up charge waits until it’s
full then release it all in one go.
How much charge depends on
the size of the capacitor measured
in farads.
Speaker -
This is a loud speaker, this is
where the signals are turned into
audio through the movement of
the surface.
