11. Switches
Pull Down Resistors stabilize the
voltage while the switch is open
13. Transistors
At the heart of almost every signal
conversion circuit, such as power
boosting and voltage level shifting
14. Power concerns
• Everything has power limits
• Exceeding those limits == damage
• Microcontrollers have low limits
• Key to great hardware is making everything happy
