Term	Definition
Actuator	is an output component that is responsible for moving and controlling a mechanism or system. For example: LEDs, servo motors and piezos.
Anode	is the positive (+) terminal of a component with polarity (diode). For example, the longer terminal of LED is anode.
Arduino	is an open-source electronics platform that consists of hardware Arduino board, and software Arduino IDE.
Boolean	is a variable type that can only accept two states: true or false. Since they can only have two states, they use less memory space and are optimal to monitor procedures that can only be on or off.
Cathode	is the negative (-) terminal of a polarized component (diode). For example, the shorter terminal of LED is cathode.
Comment	is a great tool when writing and debugging code.
Debugging	fixing the bad code.
Function	n is a block of code that executes a specific task and can be called later by writing its name.
IDE	stands for “Integrated Development Environment”. The Arduino IDE is the place where you write software to upload to an Arduino board. The IDE checks the code written and interprets it to a machine language that the microcontroller can handle.
LED	, stands for light-emitting diode is a small light source that converts eletrical energy into light.
Library	are software extensions of the Arduino API that expand the functionality of a program.
Loop	function does precisely what its name suggests, and loops consecutively, allowing your program to change and respond. Every command we write between the curly brackets is going to be repeated as long as the board is powered.
Microcontroller	is the brain of the Arduino, a small computer that we will program to listen for, process, and display information.
Power Source	of energy used to have electricity run through a circuit, usually a battery, transformer, or even the USB port of your computer.
Sensor	is a component that measures one form of energy (like light or heat or mechanical energy) and converts it to voltage or current.
Serial Monitor	is a separate terminal that is used to send and receive data from a connected board. It is a tool built into the Arduino IDE and a great tool for de-bugging and testing out sketches.
Serial Plotter	works similarly to the Serial Monitor, but instead of printing out data as text, it visualises in real time as a graph.
Setup()	function is the part of the code which is executed at the beginning when a sketch starts.
Sketch	is the term given to programs written in the Arduino IDE.
USB	, stands for Universal Serial Bus. USB port in a computer is used to upload programs as well as to power the Arduino board.
