Tinkercad Circuit Interface
Workspace
It is the area where the electronic components and 3D
objects are placed.

Undo
It is used to reverse the last action performed.
Redo

It is used to reverse the undo action.

Breadboard
 A breadboard is a piece of plastic that has several holes to hold different
electronic components of a circuit.
 It has a grid of thirty by ten holes in the main area.
 The rows are numbered 1 to 30 and the columns are labeled with the
letters ‘a’ through ‘j.’
 The columns ‘a’ through ‘e’ are separated from columns ‘f’ through ‘j’.

Steps to use a Breadboard
Step 1: Locate the breadboard from the right panel and
click it once. It will be selected and temporarily attached
to the mouse pointer.

Step 2: Move the mouse pointer onto the workspace and


then click the mouse button to place the breadboard onto
the workspace.

Step 3: Click on the Zoom to fit button, so the breadboard


is centered and magnified, or use the mouse scroll to
zoom in and zoom out.

Steps to use a Breadboard
Step 4: Move the mouse pointer
over one of the holes in the main
area of the board.
The hole will be identified with
a red square and a black border.
The other holes will be identified
with green circles.
These circles indicate that each
hole in the row is connected to
each other. There is a wire that
connects these holes internally
within the same row.

Light Emitting Diode
 It is an electronic device that emits light when an electric current passes

through it.

 It has two connections called Cathode and Anode.

 The Anode is connected to the Positive and Cathode to the Negative end of

an electronic circuit.

 The current flows in only one direction through an LED.

 The LED anode can be identified by a bent lead.

Battery
The battery is used to push electric
current through the component in
an electronic circuit.
The battery is labeled with its
voltage (V).
The voltage indicates the pressure
from the electronic circuit power
source.

Resistor
 A resistor is used to restrict the flow of
current to electrical components.
 Electrical current is measured in ‘Amps’.
 The resistor prevents damage to the
LED.
 Resistors are used in an LED circuit is to
lengthen the life of the LED while
maintaining the brightness of the LED.

Glow Circuit Assembly
 A glow circuit assembly combines a light emitting diode (LED) and a
coin cell battery to light up a 3D design.
 The two shapes required to design a glowing circuit are:
Glow holder
Glow cutout
 The Glow cutout is used to make
the hole/space in your design where
the printed Glow holder will be inserted.

Move Circuit Assembly
 A move circuit assembly combines a vibration motor, slide
switch and a coin cell battery to move 3D design.
 The two shapes required to design a move circuit are:
Move holder
Move cutout
 The move cutout is what you use
to make the hole/space in your
design where the printed move holder will be inserted.

Spin Circuit Assembly
 A Spin circuit assembly is used to spin any part of a 3D
design.
 It consists of 3D printed holder, hobby gear motor and
2×AAA batteries.
 The two shapes required
to design a move circuit are:
Spin holder
Spin cutout
