RNG Deliverable
Main goal
The main goal of this project was to create a working random number generator by soldering LED lights, resistors, capacitors, and more to a bread board.
Conclusion questions
1) The numbers I got weren't ever evenly distributed, all though I did have every number show up. This was mainly because 39 percent of my numbers were ones. I think that this is fair because the numbers are randomly picked but it would be a little bit more fair if the numbers were more evenly distributed but besides the one the rest of the numbers are pretty evenly distributed.
2) The term debugging came from Admiral Grace Hopper around the 1940's. |
Reflection
I found this project to be very interesting but difficult at times since I fell behind due to not being in class. There were multiple items we had to use to complete this activity such as the bread board, LED lights, resistors, capacitors, switch, solder, a soldering wick, batteries and much more. All of these items had to be put in the correct spot, the correct way, and solder correctly for the random number generator to work properly. Once they were soldered on you would cut of the metal sticking out of the back. I had a couple problems during this project such as soldering objects in the incorrect way and putting some pieces in the wrong spots but after I fixed those problems and finished my random number generator it work properly. Overall this was a fun project were I got to learn something that I didn't know how to do before.
