Arduino Board Components: What's Included?

10 Questions

Match the following components with their functions:

Reset switch = Sends a logical pulse to reset the Microcontroller Crystal oscillator = Ticks 16 million times a second for microcontroller operations USB interface chip = Converts USB signals to a level Arduino UNO board understands Fixed Resistor = Resistor with a fixed, defined electrical resistance

Match the following terms with their meanings:

TX = Transmit RX = Receive Black wire = Directly connected to Ground (GND) Red wire = Connected to a source of power

Match the following components with their characteristics:

Variable resistor = Resistance value can be adjusted Photoresistor = Resistance decreases with increased light intensity Jumper wires = Connect two points without soldering Blue wire = Denotes a wire running directly to Ground (GND)

Match the electronic component with its description:

Bus strips = Connect the board and its electronic components to a power source Terminal strips = Plug various electronic components in and connect them to each other USB Port = Used to load a program from the Arduino IDE onto the Arduino board Power Port = The Arduino board can be powered through an AC-to-DC adapter or a battery

Match the memory component with its capacity:

Flash memory = 32KB RAM = 2KB CPU = Controls everything that goes on within the device Atmega328P = Pre-programmed with bootloader

Match the function with its description:

Flash memory = Stores the program loaded from Arduino IDE RAM = Runtime memory CPU = Fetches program instructions from flash memory and runs them with the help of RAM Atmega328P = Allows you to directly upload a new Arduino program into the device

Match the pin type with its characteristic:

Digital pins = Labeled as “Digital 0 to 13” and can be used as either input or output pins Bus strips = Connect the board and its electronic components to a power source Terminal strips = Plug various electronic components in and connect them to each other USB Port = Used for loading programs onto the Arduino board

Match the programming tool with its purpose:

Arduino IDE = Programs the Arduino board Bootloader = Pre-programmed into Atmega328P for uploading new programs without external hardware programmer AC-to-DC adapter = Powers the Arduino board through the power jack Printer USB port = Used to load programs from Arduino IDE onto the Arduino board

Match the power source with its method of connection:

AC-to-DC adapter = Connect by plugging in a 2.1mm center-positive plug into the power jack of the board Battery = Can be used to power the Arduino board USB Port = Also used for powering up the Arduino board Terminal strips = Connect various electronic components in and to each other

Match the functionality with its outcome:

RAM usage = Provides runtime memory for operations within the device CPU control = Manages all activities within the device by fetching and running program instructions Bootloader presence in Atmega328P = Enables direct uploading of new programs into the device without external hardware programmer Digital pins utilization as output pins = Acts as a power supply source for connected components
