Introduction

Now that you can cause a motor coil to energize by pressing a button, you will build a circuit that allows the motor coil to become energized via a user pressing a third button at the same time as pressing Button 1 or Button 2.

The following video will walk you through the steps of building the circuit according to the schematic shown below.
