I have always been interested in designing and making circuits, so I decided that I should start learning the very basics. This project I tried to make was in order to learn about parallel and series circuits.
I didn't want to spend a lot to build my first project so I thought I would look at using a stripboard to do my soldering.
I found a program online that was able to do nice and simple stripboard layout and after I finished the preliminary design, I realized that the way I laid out my circuit is completely wrong for a strip board
The circuit is just supposed to light up the leds that will spell " C A R L"
So my question is if whether this would actually work (after I input correct resistor values and led values) because I was wondering that since the tracks are horizontal, it might cause problems with the way the resistors and leds are placed.
Any extra input on what I may have done wrong would be awesome so I can learn from my mistakes!
(I added a picture)
(Green lines are jumper wires)
(Yellow lines are there just for a visual aid for myself)
