Connect your voltmeter (your multimeter, set to the âvoltâ function) to the motorâs terminals just as you connected it to the LEDâs terminals, and spin the shaft with your fingers. The meter should indicate voltage by means of needle deflection (analog) or numerical readout (digital).
Long: Alternating rows of even and odd numbers of stars, beginning and ending with the longer row. This is the pattern of our current 50-star flag. Short: Like the previous pattern, but beginning and ending on the shorter row. This pattern has never been used on the American flag. Out of our six patterns, however, it's the only one that's viable for a hypothetical 71-star flag.
U.S FLAG HISTORY. Welcome to the area of our Web site where we will give you a brief history of the United States flag, as well as many other flags used throughout the history of this great country. The current official U.S. flag is a 50 star flag, born of the need for a more practical design to accommodate new states entering the union. On April 4, 1818, Congress established the number of stripes at seven red and six white, and provided the addition of one star for each new state.
