What does LED stand for?
What is Light Emitting Diode?
What does the delay() function do in the code?
What is forces the code to stop for a period of time?
the short leg on the LED
What is cathode?
collects the amount of light that the sensor can take in and will communicate information to the Arduino (the long leg)
What is collector?
What is a special type of motor that spins to a particular position and remains until the code calls them back to their starting position. Usually only moves 180 degrees.
What is a Servo motor?
the same electrical current flows through both switches. They must both be pressed to close the circuit
What is a Series Circuit?
When the function read HIGH what happens?
What is voltage on the pin?
Outputs a change in voltage depending on the temperature of its surroundings
What is Temperature sensor
chops up the electrical signal into parts allowing fading or pulsing
What is Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)?
What does a decoupling capacitor do?
What is reduces changes caused by the components from the rest of the circuit. (If put backwards they can explode)?
the electrical current is split between switches. Either switch can be pressed to complete the circuit
what is a Parallel circuit?
When the function reads LOW what happens?
What is no voltage on the pin?
What does the Serial.print() do in a code?
What is sends the information from the Arduino to the computer?
a light emitting diode that contains a red, green, and blue components that all can light independently
What is RGB LED?
When the code states digitalWrite (2, LOW); what should you expect to see in the LED
what is LED on pin 2 off?
converts electrical energy back into physical energy, such as light or heat
What is an Actuator?
When the delay code reads delay(1000) and the code waits for 1 second. How about when it reads delay(250)?
What is wait 1/4 of a second?
A type of data stored as a decimal point and is used to express fractions?
What is Floating-point number/ float()?
What generates a current proportional to the quantity of light observed?
What is a Phototransistor?
What is the flow in 03 from the Temperature sensor (TS)
What is TS, voltage, microcontroller, LED & computer screen?
a formula that describes the relationship between current, voltage and resistance represented by the formula V= I * R
What is Ohm’s Law?
when a pin can only read two states, voltage on and voltage off, sometimes also called binary input
What is Digital input?
receives the value from the sensor, in this project it is what pin should take a voltage reading on
What is analogRead()?
Name the 4 legs on the RGB LED?
What is red, blue, green, and negative (ground)?
a voltage divider that measures electromotive forces
What is a Potentiometer?
