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

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

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.

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

ommenting 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.

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.

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.

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

The 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.

A microcontroller is the brain of the Arduino, a small computer that we will program to listen for,t.

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 is a component that measures one form of energy (like light or heat or mechanical energy)

The 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.

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

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

USB, stands for Universal Serial Bus.
