Week 9¶
Credits to ChatGPT for generating the definitions. I have used the prompt Generate the defination of *your word* to generate all the definations. To generate some explantions for the softwares, I have used the prompt Can you explain further on *the name of your software*.
Vocabulary¶
Input Device: A device used to receive information from the external environment, such as a sensor, that can be read by a microcontroller.
Analog Signals: Continuous signal levels representing physical quantities, like temperature or light intensity, which are typically converted into digital signals.
Digital Signals: Discrete signals, usually represented by two states (HIGH/LOW or ON/OFF), commonly used for binary data processing.
Sensor: A device that detects and responds to physical properties like temperature, light, or motion, providing input to the microcontroller.
Example Code: Pre-configured code provided to test hardware functionality with the microcontroller.
Serial Monitor: A tool in the Arduino IDE used to view output from the microcontroller, such as sensor data or debug messages.
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification): A system used to read unique identifiers (UID) from RFID tags, commonly used for security or tracking applications.
MFRC522 Module: A popular RFID reader module that works with Arduino boards to interface with RFID tags.
UID (Unique Identifier): A unique number associated with each RFID tag that can be read by the RFID reader.
Communication Failure: A situation where the input device (e.g., RFID reader) fails to send data to the microcontroller due to wiring or hardware issues.
Interfacing: Connecting input devices to a microcontroller to enable communication between hardware and software.
Debugging: The process of identifying and fixing bugs or issues in the hardware setup or software code.
