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.
The most recent change, from 49 stars to 50, occurred in 1960 when the present design was chosen. When we look at the history of the U.S. flag from 1777 to 1960 there were 27 versions of the flag with 25 of those changes due to the changing number of stars.
