Lab Bonanza

I finished my AEC lab internal exam with much difficulty as it goes. Apparently, I got the easiest experiment among all the experiments, and then again the easiest of the bunch of easy experiments, still the output was obtained when there was only 15 minutes left to the deadline. Seriously, how do they expect us to get the right output with all the wrong components? I got a series clipper circuit, that being a very simple connection, all I had to do is use a diode, a 3.3K resistor and a power supply along with some connecting wires to obtain the required output on the CRO. But, the components not being up to the mark, as they say it, I had to change the diodes and the CRO two freaking times! If I had to change  it once more, I'd have considered doing it without the breadboard! So, now that the lab is over, I have no regrets, because in the end I got something which could be considered as the output. And the external seemed pretty okay with it and with the  viva voce as well. It all went good, considering the party we had the previous night on account of Karthik's birthday. :P and well, the picture attached is not my experiment, but clearly depicts some IC on a bread board. :P
