Sensors vs. Actuators

*Microcontroller = Brain of the system = Computer

A sensor acts like one of your A sensor is connected to the port of a microcontroller*.

  • a device
  • a machine
  • a system
  • detects
  • controls
  • modifies
  • records
  • electronic devices.
  • actuators.
  • sensors.
  • circuits.
  • senses.
  • muscles.
  • environment
  • movement
  • combine
  • merge

DEFINITION: A sensor is which changes in the and sends information to other Sensors a physical phenomenon into

  • convert
  • detect
  • control
  • input
  • output
  • an electric signal.
  • a movement.
  • a change.

*Microcontroller = Brain of the system = Computer

An actuator acts like one of your An actuator is connected to the port of a microcontroller*.

  • a component
  • a machine
  • a system
  • for
  • of
  • to
  • muscles.
  • senses.

DEFINITION: An actuator is which is responsible moving or controlling mechanisms. Actuators convert into

  • output
  • input
  • an electric signal
  • a movement
  • a change
  • an action.
  • an electric signal.
  • a circuit.
  • a device.
