TECH
T ¢ Sensors: Devices that detect changes in the environment, such as light, temperature or
E motion and send data to electronic systems.
R
M
S ¢ Smart devices: Gadgets that can connect, collect data and respond intelligently, often using
sensors and microcontrollers.

¢ Transmission: The process of sending data or electrical signals from one place to another.

¢ Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC): A device that converts signals, such as sound or light,
into numbers that a computer or microcontroller can understand.

REWIND RUN

« A circuit is a connected path that allows electricity to flow and power electronic devices.
« A microcontroller is a small, programmable chip that functions as the brain of an electronic device.
« Arduino is a small electronic board that can follow instructions to control things like lights, motors,
sensors and more.
« The Arduino Uno is a versatile board that controls devices, reads sensor data, provides power and
enables interaction through input and output connections.

« The Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is a software platform where you can write,
edit and upload code to an Arduino board.
« A smart lamp automatically turns on or off based on the light in the room; using a photoresistor, it
detects whether the room is dark or bright.
