In this chapter, we introduced what circuits are and described the differences between closed, open and short circuits. We also showed how to read both a Fritzing and a schematic diagram. We finished the chapter by seeing the differences between parallel and series and creating our first circuit to light up a LED.
In the next chapter, we will look at how we can prototype circuits and what tools and skills we need.
