 +====ACCESSING STL0 FROM YOUR PI====
 +Since you can't make and run the program on lab 46, you will need to add, commit, and push it onto your repository with the hg commands, so that you can pull it onto your pi. Once you've successflly pushed everything onto the repository, go to your pi and use this command to pull it back:
 +<code/>hg pull;hg update</code>
 +Once you've done that, you should be able to cd into the stl0 directory, where you can compile and run your program with the make and ./stl0 commands. If your breadboard is set up, and the stl0.c file is being applied to the right pin #, you might notice a change in the LED.

 ====VOLTAGE / VOLTS==== ====VOLTAGE / VOLTS====
 +Voltage is the electric potential between two points. Volts is the SI unit used for voltage. Voltage is often described as the "pressure" that pushes electricity. An analogy often used to describe the relationship between voltage, amperage, and resistance, is water in a hose. Voltage can be imagined as the water pressure, amperage can be imagined as the flow rate, and resistance is imagined as the thickness of the hose. 
  
 +For circuit projects using a breadboard and Raspberry Pi, the typical voltages are 3.3V and 5V.

 +//Input// on any of the Raspberry Pi's GPIO pins should **not** be 5V. The Raspberry Pi is not 5V tolerant. This is confusing, as there are pins to //output// 5V, which is used to power external components.
 ====GROUND==== ====GROUND====
 The ground "pin" is extremely important if connecting a circuit together. If done without a ground you can easily fry your breadboard or even kill an L.E.D light. Your ground pins are indicated by a GND next to the designated pin. For every power source connection, you must have a ground wire going to one of the Negative column. The ground "pin" is extremely important if connecting a circuit together.

 +Amperage is a measure of the magnitude of electrical current.
  
 ====RESISTANCE / OHMS==== ====RESISTANCE / OHMS====
  
 +Resistance, or electrical resistance, is a measure of how difficult it is for current to flow. Resistance is measured in the SI unit Ohms. Resistors are components for implementing electrical resistance in a circuit. Resistance is equivalent to V/I, where V is voltage and I is current, derived from V=I*R.

 ====BREADBOARD==== ====BREADBOARD====
 +A breadboard is a tool used for prototyping circuits without the need for soldering components onto a board. They typically come with detachable rails on the side, usually used (and marked) for power and ground. These red and blue marked strips are connected along the entire length of the columns. This allows you to power and ground multiple components easily. 
  
 +Between these detachable rails are rows of 5 connected notches on either side of the divot in the middle. The 5 notches in each row are connected, allowing you to form circuits between attached components.

 GPIO.0 is actually GPIO17 on your T-cobbler GPIO.0 is actually GPIO17 on your T-cobbler
  
 +To discover this, you can use the command <code/> gpio redall </code> 
 +This will bring up a table of all the pins on the t-cobbler. On your t-cobbler, you will count the pins left to right starting at one, until you get to the pin you are using. Then, you will find the number your pin is at, then use the list to line it up with the wpi name. The Wpi name is the one we will be referring to whenever we need to write or indicate a pin in our code

 ====RESISTOR==== ====RESISTOR====
 +A resistor is a component for implementing electrical resistance in a circuit. This is useful for lowering the flow of current across a circuit. By applying a resistor to a circuit with an LED, you could prevent the LED from burning out, or simply make it dimmer without needing to adjust voltage. Resistors have color coded bands on the body of them to indicate resistance in Ohms. For instance, 3 bands that are orange, orange, red, indicates a 330 Ohm resistor. The color coding is defined in the international standard IEC 60062.
