an output component that is responsible for moving and controlling a mechanism or system.

the positive (+) terminal of a component with polarity (diode)

an open-source electronics platform that consists of hardware Arduino board, and software Arduino IDE.

a variable type that can only accept two states: true or false.

the negative (-) terminal of a polarized component (diode).

a great tool when writing and debugging code.

a block of code that executes a specific task and can be called later by writing its name.

stands for “Integrated Development Environment”.

stands for light-emitting diode is a small light source that converts eletrical energy into light.

are software extensions of the Arduino API that expand the functionality of a program.

function does precisely what its name suggests, and loops consecutively, allowing your program to change and respond.

is the brain of the Arduino, a small computer that we will program to listen for, process, and display information.

A source of energy used to have electricity run through a circuit, usually a battery, transformer, or even the USB port of your computer

is a component that measures one form of energy (like light or heat or mechanical energy) and converts it to voltage or current.

is a separate terminal that is used to send and receive data from a connected board.

works similarly to the Serial Monitor, but instead of printing out data as text, it visualises in real time as a graph.

s the part of the code which is executed at the beginning when a sketch starts.

is the term given to programs written in the Arduino IDE.

stands for Universal Serial Bus. USB port in a computer is used to upload programs as well as to power the Arduino board.
