100

The "brain" of many modern electronic systems; it takes inputs from sensors, processes this data, and outputs to actuators the physical world.

Microcontroller

Because its primary component, methane, undergoes highly efficient combustion, natural gas usually burns this color:

Bule

Values that are True or False can be described as this type of data

Digital

100

This is where the heat/cooling in this building is controlled:

a) this room   b) main office   c) basement  d) roof

c) The basement

100

Naturally occurring electrostatic discharge in the atmosphere or ground, causing the instantaneous release of as much as one billion joules of energy

Lightning

200

This type of data from the real world can have many (even an infinite) possible values

Analog Data
200

This describes how fast energy is used (how much per second).

Power (watts)

200

This type of motor can be found in 3D printers

Stepper Motor

200

The pressure that natural gas enters your home (aka the pressure at the meter):

a) 0.25 psi   b) 2.5 psi   c) 25 psi   d) 250 psi

a) 0.25 psi

200

A primary component of energy production, this is rotated by liquid, gas, or other fluid

Turbine

300

The typical voltage when supplying power to a motor attached to the Arduino.

5V

300

Term for the force that pushes electric charges through a circuit (like water through a hose)

Voltage

 if (analogRead(A0) > 341 && analogRead(A0) < 682) {

    digitalWrite(8, HIGH);

    digitalWrite(9, HIGH);

    digitalWrite(10, LOW);

Sets pins 8 and 9 to High when the value at A0 is between 341-682

Many wires are typically made of this 29th element on the periodic table, a particularly good conductor?

Copper

 Although the technology has existed for at least 50 years, the 2000s were the first time that efficacy and output increased enough in LED lights to be used in applications such as car headlights. LED stands for this. 

Light-Emitting Diode

500

You should use this type of resistor with a red LED (include units).

220 ohms
