| 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 | fick kowd |
| Function | is a block of code that executes a specific task and can be called later by writing its name. Once a function is written, it can be used over and over again. They are used to combine several lines of code into a single line. A programming language gener |
| IDE | “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. LEDs have polarity and two terminal |
| Library | 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 | A source of energy used to have electricity run through a circuit, usually a battery, transformer, or even the USB port of your computer. |
| Sensor | a component that measures one form of energy (like light or heat or mechanical energy) and converts it to voltage |
| Serial Monitor | 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 | Serial communication is a type of serial protocol between two devices. The main property of serial communication is that all the data is sent bit by bit one after the other, and it happens at a very high speed. |
| 18. Setup() | function is the part of the code which is executed at the beginning when a sketch starts. Use it to initialize variables, pin modes, start using libraries, etc. The setup() function will only run once, after each powerup or reset of the Arduino board. |
| Sketch | 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. It’s a generic port that is standard on most computers |
