1-Power jack
2-Micro controller
3-Digital and Analog inputs

Question 5

What is the different between Digital and Analog inputs?

Answer 5

-Digital inputs are binary inputs (0 or 1) that are basically voltages that behave like the binary nature, either it can be ON or it can be OFF. Switches, sensors, etc are examples of digital input.

-Analog input is a continuous input which means it is a time-sensitive input.
for ex: The live Temperature Sensor program that we wrote it :)

Question 6

What are the differences between Microcontroller VS Microprocessor?

Answer 6

-Microcontroller: the heart of an embedded or minor system
for ex: washing machines, air conditioners

-Microprocessor: the heart of a whole computer system
for ex: personal computers/laptops
