ACTIVITY 2 ROBOTICS STUDY GUIDE FIRST TERM

THROUGHLINE: What is the difference between a digital input and an analog input?

CREATE WITH YOUR TEACHER A TRAFFIC LIGH CONTROL

SYSTEM IN THE ONLINE PLATFORM TINKERCAD.

1) Access your digital class in TINKERCAD by clicking on the link below:

 8) Extra challenge activity:
If you have already finished the previous circuit and you want to test
your understanding please make another circuit on the top side of the
breadboard and add and program another analog input to turn on a
second LED.

9) IMPORTANT! You do not need to save the work as it will be saved

automatically whenever you make any modifications inside your circuit.

10) SESSION PRACTICED NEW VOCABULARY

ARDUINO UNO R3 BOARD BREADBOARD REZISTORS LEDs

POSITIVE NEGATIVE(BLACK) ALSO WIRES

KNOWN AS GND-GROUND

POTENTIOMETER

A potentiometer (also known as

a pot or potmeter) is defined as
a 3 terminal variable resistor in
which the resistance is manually
varied to control the flow of
electric current. A
potentiometer acts as an
adjustable voltage divider.
