micro Switch;Choice;;;A small, fast-acting switch used to control the operation of machinery and equipment.
Microcontroller;Choice Link;;https://www.tutorialspoint.com/microprocessor/microcontrollers_overview.htm;A compact integrated circuit designed to govern a specific operation in an embedded system, like the one used in Arduino boards.
Modulation;Choice ;;;The process of varying one or more properties of a periodic waveform, called the carrier signal, with a modulating signal that typically contains information to be transmitted.
Oled;Choice Code ;;;Organic Light Emitting Diode, a type of display technology that uses organic compounds to produce light when an electric current is applied.
Output Devices;Choice;;;Devices that perform an action in response to a signal from the Arduino, like LEDs, motors, or displays.
Power;Choice;;;In electrical terms, the rate at which energy is transferred or converted.
Programming;Choice Link;;https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Introduction_to_Programming/About_Programming;The process of creating a set of instructions that tell a computer how to perform a task.
Prototype;Choice;;;An early sample or model built to test a concept or process.
Pull-down Resistor;Choice ;;;A resistor used to ensure a known state for a signal line or input-pin when no active devices are connected.
Pulse;Choice;;;A rapid, transient change in the amplitude of a signal from a baseline value to a higher or lower value, followed by a rapid return to the baseline value.
Relay;Choice;;;An electrically operated switch used to control a high-power circuit with a low-power signal.
Reset;Choice ;;;Reset refers to restarting a computer, device, or system to refresh the state and start anew.
RGB;Code Pict Link;rgb.jpg;https://www.w3schools.com/colors/;Refers to the colors red, green, and blue, used in various color space models.
Runtime Error;Choice;;;An error that occurs while the Arduino sketch is running, often causing the program to crash or behave unexpectedly.
Sensor;Choice;;;A device that detects or measures a physical property and records, indicates, or otherwise responds to it.
Setup() Function;Ask Code ;;;A required function in Arduino sketches that runs once when you restart your board. It's used to initialize variables, pin modes, start using libraries, etc.
Sketch;Ask Code ;;;The name given to Arduino programs. These are written in the Arduino IDE and uploaded to the Arduino board.
String;Choice Code Link;;https://startingelectronics.org/software/arduino/learn-to-program-course/18-strings/;A data type used in programming, such as an Arduino sketch, to represent text rather than numbers.
Syntax;Choice Link;;https://www.javatpoint.com/arduino-syntax-and-program-flow;The set of rules that defines the combinations of symbols that are considered to be correctly structured programs in the programming language.
Timer;Choice Code ;;;A timer is a specialized type of clock used for measuring time intervals.
Upload;Choice;;;The process of transferring a compiled sketch from the Arduino IDE to the Arduino board.
USB Driver;Ask;;;Software that allows your computer to communicate with the Arduino board via USB.
Variable;Choice Code ;;;A named unit of data that is used to store a value that can be changed during the program execution.
Volt;Ask;;;The derived unit for electric potential, electric potential difference, and electromotive force.
Voltage;Ask;;;An electric potential difference between two points, or the amount of work needed to move a unit charge between two points.
Voltage Regulator;Choice Link;;https://dronebotworkshop.com/powering-your-projects/;A component on the Arduino board that controls the voltage supplied to the board, ensuring it stays within safe limits.
Watt;Ask;;;The unit of power in the International System of Units (SI), equivalent to one joule per second.
WiFi;Ask Code ;;;In the context of Arduino, WiFi refers to the technology that allows Arduino boards to connect to a wireless network. This connectivity is crucial for projects that require Internet access or wireless communication. Arduino offers various boards and modules that come with WiFi capabilities, such as the Arduino Uno WiFi, enabling makers to create IoT (Internet of Things) devices, remotely control projects, collect data, and communicate with web services.
