Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- 1N4148
- A common small-signal switching diode used for low-current electronic signals. It is a good choice for fast signal switching or simple protection tasks, but not for carrying large power currents.
- Axial
- Axial components have one lead coming out of each end, so they lie flat or span holes on a circuit board or breadboard. This matters when checking whether the resistor will physically fit your prototyping or through-board assembly method.
- common-anode
- A wiring arrangement where several LEDs or LED segments share a common positive (anode) terminal and are switched individually on their negative (cathode) side. Common-anode and common-cathode parts, such as RGB LEDs, seven-segment displays, matrices and strips, are not interchangeable without a suitable driver.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode (LED) is a small electronic component that emits light when current flows through it in the correct direction. Because it only conducts one way, its polarity matters, and a through-hole LED must be soldered the correct way around to light up.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a single chip that runs a stored program and controls connected inputs and outputs such as buttons, sensors, displays and communication interfaces. In a device built around one, it is the part that executes the code and coordinates the device's behaviour.
- photocell
- A light-sensitive component whose electrical resistance changes with the amount of light falling on it. It matters when choosing or using light sensors, automatic lights, or brightness-detecting circuits because its response speed, resistance range, and sensitivity affect how reliably it detects light levels.
- photoresistor
- A light-sensitive resistor whose resistance changes depending on how much light hits it. It matters for projects such as night-lights and light alarms because it gives a simple way for a microcontroller to sense brightness.
- potentiometer
- A variable resistor usually turned with a knob or shaft to create an adjustable electrical signal. It is often used for inputs such as volume, brightness or position, so it helps beginners learn how a microcontroller reads changing values.
- RGB
- Short for red, green and blue, the three primary colours of light that are mixed in varying amounts to make a wide range of colours. In electronics RGB can refer to an LED or pixel that blends these three colours, or to a colour signal or interface that carries separate red, green and blue channels.
