Arduino
This is the version of Arduino board that we used in our labs.
What is a Uno?
This is the number of discrete LEDs in a 7-Segment Display.
What is 8?
This is the section of the code that repeats over and over again.
What is void loop()?
This is the part of an conventional electric motor that rotates.
What is a rotor?
This is the maximum input voltage to an input pin of an Arduino board.
What is 5V?
This is a device that plugs into the pins of an Arduino board to add new capabilities.
What is a Shield?
This device converts electrical energy into sound.
What is a speaker?
The inclusion of a library should occur here relative to the void setup() command.
What is before?
This is a small arm or bar attached to the shaft of a Servo Motor.
What is a horn?
This is the number of discrete steps that the voltage of an analog pin is divided by.
What is 1024?
This is a board that provides an Arduino with actual time rather than elapsed time.
What is a RTC?
This device converts sound into electrical energy.
What is a microphone?
This punctuation indicates the end of a command.
What is a semi-colon?
This motor is not intended to spin continuously in one direction but uses discrete impulses to the outer electromagnets, to make the rotor turn through a precise number of steps.
What is a Stepper Motor?
This is the command that tells the Arduino whether a specific pin is to be used for input or output.
What is pinMode?
This is the version of Arduino that has the same capability as the Uno but is much smaller.
What is a Nano?
This is the generic name for a device that converts energy from one form into another.
What is a transducer?
This is the command that tells a sketch to use a certain library.
What is #include?
The amount of current used by an electric motor when it is trying to turn but cannot because of too great a load.
What is the Stall Current?
This is the result of trying to drive a high current output such as a motor from an Arduino output pin.
What is smoke?
This is the wearable version of Arduino that is waterproof.
What is the Lilly Pad?
A wireless sensor system that uses electromagnetic energy to transfer data between the sensor and the tag.
What is RFID?
These characters enclose the number which defines the size of an array or a position within an array.
What are curly brackets {}?
This is the component on the rotor of an electric (DC) motor that causes the current to change direction in the coil as the rotor turns.
What is a Commutator?
This is the Base 16 number system generally used with IR remote control systems.
What is Hexadecimal?
