Resources
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- IoT
- Short for Internet of Things, meaning physical devices that connect to networks or the internet to send data or be controlled remotely. It matters if you want projects such as connected sensors, remote controls or classroom data-logging activities.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a chip that runs your program and controls connected inputs and outputs. For this product, it is the part that reads buttons and sensors, drives the display and speaker, and communicates over Bluetooth.
- monocrystalline solar panel
- A solar panel made from single-crystal silicon cells, commonly used where good efficiency is needed in a compact panel. This matters when estimating how much sunlight and panel area are needed to keep batteries charged.
- open-circuit voltage
- The voltage a solar panel produces when nothing is connected to it. It is important because the controller must be rated to handle this maximum no-load voltage.
- short-circuit current
- The maximum current a solar panel can deliver if its output is directly shorted. This rating helps with choosing safe wiring, protection, and a compatible solar charge controller.
