- Using LEDs (they're diodes, and we started covering diodes already; these ones just emit light).
- Turning LEDs or other things on and off in interesting or meaningful patterns (we turn things on and off with transistors, and the patterns come from logic - we covered a couple of gates, the rest is just combinations).
- Charging batteries (how you do this depends on the type of batteries involved, but some are easy).
I'll try and put together a bit of a lesson on the first two by email. The third, I'll need to do some reading on myself. :-)
