Output Devices: Display data!


In this week we are going to do something different from last week, instead of colloecting data, we are going to display data. An output device is any peripheral that receives data from a sensor or microcontroller, usually for display, projection, or physical movement.

To imagine it well, consider the image shows an inkjet printer, an output device that can make a hard copy of any information shown on your monitor or computer, is a life real example of an output device. Monitors and printers are two of the most common output devices used with a computer.

For my output device I am going to work on something related to my project. My final project is basically a 3D scanning set that has a rotating arm that moves automatically.. I am going to use a stepper motor to rotate the arm around the scanned object.
