1.
Name and speed of the Processor for Arduino Uno.
-The name of the Processor is "ATmega328" and its speed is 16MHz.
2. What is the amount of RAM?
-The amount of RAM is 2KB, but it is not exactly RAM, but SRAM, which is Static Random Access Memory.
3. What is the language C good for?
-C is good for expressing common ideas, especially because it is simply and has been around for 30 years which means that there is a lot of source code. C is also good for performance and speed. Major parts of operating systems like Windows are still written in C. Lastly, it is good for both the user and the computer as C is both user and machine oriented.
4. What is the difference between analog and digital inputs? When would they be used?
-One of the differences between analog and digital would be the method of output. Analog outputs information physically, just like the hands would on an analog clock, whereas actual discrete values are outputted on a digital clock. Furthermore, Analog uses a range where it can sometimes be difficult to get the actual output, whereas on something Digital, you can get the exact output. They can be used in many different situations, like on a weight scale, a clock, or in the dashboard of a car. Specifically, a thermometer can be analog and PC's can be digital.
5. What is a microcontroller (In your own words?)
-A microcontroller is a mini computer used to control the actions of systems in electronics. Microcontrollers can be found in things such as printers, toasters, and even aircraft systems. They typically include a processor, memory, and peripherals. The Arduino is often referred to as a microcontroller.
