Crossword of electric components - 8BitCADE
Across
- 2. (3 words) A momentary button that remains closed while pressure is applied to it, and returns to its default position once pressure is removed.
- 3. (2 words) Connects the microprocessor board to the Arduino IDE software for powering/ programming, allowing you to transfer your program.
- 5. A type of diode (something that only allows electrical current to flow in one direction) that emits light when current flows through it. The colour of the lights emitted are red, green, and blue.

- 8. Holds all of the components together.
- 9. (3 words) The “brains” of the 8BitCADE - this is a development board which contains a microchip (which, in this case, looks like a large black square) and small pins.
Down
- 1. (3 words) Batteries that use polymer electrolyte to store electrical power.
- 4. (1 word) An electrical component that limits/ regulates the flow of electrical current in the circuit.
- 6. (2 words) A loudspeaker that uses piezoelectric effect to generate sound.
- 10. A diode that emits light in dots or pixels.
