Q

What is a good analogy for current?

A

Water-and-pipe analogy - if we have a water pump that exerts pressure (voltage) to push water around a “circuit” (current) through a restriction (resistance), we can model how the three variables interrelate.

Q

What is the difference between schematics and writing diagram?

A

A schematic shows the plan and function for an electrical circuit, but is not concerned with the physical layout of the wires whilst a writing diagram show how the wires are connected and where they should located in the actual device and the connections between parts

Q

What is a function call that makes digital output?

A

digitalWrite()

17
Q

The Arduino board, that can be produced as output component

A

The Arduino board can only make a digital output. If there are no additional external output components, the Arduino can utilise the onboard LED on pin 13

18
Q

Example of output command listed in digital write ()

A

(pinNum, MODE)

19
Q

What would you do if you received a syntax error while verifying code?

A

Check your code for errors

20
Q

Why wouldn’t a project behave like you expect it to?

A

You most probably have a bug

21
Q

What happens if you leave out a semicolon?

A

Syntax error

22
Q

Instruction to set a pin up for input

A

pinMode(pinNum, INPUT);

23
Q

Source code will make the program wait for one second

A

delay(1000)

24
Q

Void setup() {} is known as …

A

The setup function

25
Q

What are comments?

A

Comments are notes left by the developer that cannot be read by the computer. They are created using // and these insinuate that the computer is not able to read the comment

26
Q

What is the language used in the Arduino program?

A

C

27
Q

What should you do after make a change to some code/

A

Upload it onto the board

28
Q

Commands turns voltage on

A

digitalWrite (pinNum, HIGH);

29
Q

Lines start with // or are between /* and */

A

Are comments and are ignored by the comupter

30
Q

How many setup functions can you have in one program?

A

One

31
Q

An example of a pair of delimiters

A

{ } - braces, for functions and other constructs
“ “ - quotes, for strings
‘ ‘ - single quotes, for characters
[ ] - (square) brackets, in arrays
< > - angle brackets
( ) - parentheses, for function argument lists and other things
/* */ - multi-line comments

32
Q

What is a sequence?

A

Lines of code executed in that order. Sequence is the order in which the statements are executed

33
Q

If function example

A

if (this ) {
Do that
}

34
Q

the right way to assign a value to a variable

A

int Variable name = desired variable value
