is an output component that is responsible for moving and controlling a mechanism or system. For example: LEDs, servo motors and piezos.

is the positive (+) terminal of a component with polarity (diode). For example, the longer terminal of LED is anode.

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

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.

is the negative (-) terminal of a polarized component (diode). For example, the shorter terminal of LED is cathode.

is a great tool when writing and debugging code. When you comment out a section in a program, the section will be ignored when it is running.

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

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.

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

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.

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. It’s a generic port that is standard on most computers today

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. When you comment out a section in a program, the section will be ignored when it is running.
Debugging	fixing a code
Function	is a block of code that executes a specific task and can be called later by writing its name.
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. 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	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. It’s a generic port that is standard on most computers today
