Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

DC

DC means direct current, where electricity flows in one constant direction, as supplied by batteries, USB ports and many plug-pack power supplies. When a product specifies DC, it runs from a DC supply rather than mains AC, so you need to provide the correct voltage and polarity.

vibration motor

A small motor with an off-centre weight on its shaft, which shakes when it spins. It matters when choosing haptic feedback, alerts, or simple movement effects, as you need to match its voltage, current draw, size, and mounting style to your project.
