CEN 4930 - Week 2: Lab 2 - Timing Millis

Vocabulary flashcards related to key concepts in Arduino programming, timing, and circuit building.

pinMode

Function to configure a pin as INPUT, OUTPUT, or INPUT_PULLUP in Arduino.

digitalWrite

Function that sets a digital pin HIGH or LOW in Arduino.

digitalRead

Function used to read the HIGH or LOW state from a digital pin in Arduino.

analogRead

Function that returns a value from 0 to 1023 on Uno, representing an analog input.

PWM

Pulse Width Modulation, used for analogWrite function, providing variable output levels.

delay(ms)

Function that pauses program execution for a specified number of milliseconds.

millis()

Function that returns the number of milliseconds since the program started.

Blocking Delay

Method that uses delay(), halting execution for a period, reducing responsiveness.

Non-Blocking

Approach that uses millis() to track time without halting program execution.

TinkerCad

An online platform for creating and simulating circuits used in the lab.

Toggle

To switch the state of an LED between on and off.

AnalogWrite

Function used for generating PWM output, allowing control over LED brightness.
