TMF1214 Computer Architecture Lab Exercise
Lab 2: Exploring Circuit with TinkerCad
1. Instruction:
The objective of this lab is to provide you with exposure on electronic circuit using web-
based circuit simulator using Tinkercad.
You need an Internet connection to complete this lab.
You should be able to complete this lab on your own within 2 hours.
Please write a half-page self reflection on what you think about Tinkercad.
2. Task:
Step 1: What is TinkerCAD?
TinkerCAD is a free online service for creating basic 3D shapes and developing digital pro- totypes of
electronic components. These pro- totypes include basic circuits with LED lights, buzzers, switches,
and even light sensors.
Step 2: Creating an Account
To get started with the simulator, go to https://www.tinkercad.com and create a free account.
Once you’ve done this, you’ll to taken to the Tinkercad dashboard. In the menu on the left side of
