Switching to the Prototype Board...

After bread-boarding up the circuits we then had to move them to a prototyping board. This proved to be a lot more challenging.

This is my 'Champ' with adjustments on a prototype board

This is my successfully 'Champ' circuit (amplifier). I am very proud to say that it works and also that I have added an on/off switch, an inlet so that I can plug in multiple sound-making devices and a potentiometer (variable resistor) to control the volume.

Instead of creating one of the circuit diagrams we have been given for a 'noise making' device I am going to see if I can find some old electronics around home that can be circuit bent. I really like the idea of reusing and recycling components and also the potential for odd noises to come out of the shell of a toy that usually has a predictable sounds.
