    • The visual programming approach introduces programming concepts
    • Different languages are used within the program with percentages like JAVA(76.3%) HTML(12.1%) Javascript(6.4%) scheme(1.3%) Python(2.7%) and CSS(1.2%).

    Designing App Interface

    • App interface design involves considerations like choosing components and arranging them on screen.
    • The use of a visual interface helps design the interface.

    Arduino

    • Arduino is an open-source microcontroller platform.
    • Its wide use in educational settings has made it popular for teaching control automation.

    Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE)

    • The IDE contains a text editor for code writing.
    • It includes a message area, a text console, a toolbar with common function buttons, and a series of menus.
    • It allows communication with the Arduino hardware and program uploading.

    Arduino IDE Code for NodeMCU

    • Programming with the IDE for NodeMCU requires specific code tailored to the device.

    Setting WiFi Name and Password

    • The process involves configuring the WiFi name and password for the ESP8266 device to establish a connection.

    Code Examples (for controlling a Robot)

    • Demonstrates code snippets, likely in Arduino's IDE, for controlling forward, backward, left, right, and other robot maneuvers.

    Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)

    • Used to convert analog signals into digital format
    • ESP8266 systems include a 10-bit ADC with limited voltage range and a single channel.
    • External analog sensors provide the input to be converted
