Circuit #6: Photo Resistor
Description: We used a photo resistor to control the light intensity of the LED based off how much light was exposed to the photo resistor.

Circuit #7: Temperature Sensor
Description: We measured the surrounding temperature using a linear temperature sensor.

Circuit #8: A Single Servo
Description: We learned how to use pulse width modulation in order to control and rotate a servo, which, unlike a motor, can move to specific locations.

Circuit #9: Flex Sensor
Description: We used a flex sensor to control the position of the servo by bending the sensor with different magnitudes. The more you bent, the higher the resistance would be.

Circuit #10: Soft Potentiometer
Description: In this circuit, we used a soft potentiometer, another variable resistor like the flex sensor. However, unlike the flex sensor, which varied resistance based off how much you bent the sensor, the soft potentiometer varies resistance based off where pressure is applied on the strip.
