Design technology
Across
- 2. switch allows electricity to flow in an electrical circuit by manually pressing the operating section.The switch activates when pressed and then turns off when released
- 3. uses colored bands to quickly identify a resistors resistive value and its percentage of tolerance with the physical size of the resistor indicating its wattage rating.
- 6. used to control the current flow in a circuit. It can be closed or interrupted by moving the switch.
- 7. development board which contains a microchip called an ATmega 32U4
- 8. made for connecting electronic components together. The metal etched into the board allows electricity to travel from one component to another in electrical circuits.
- 9. a semiconductor device that emits light when an electric current is passed through it. Light is produced when the particles that carry the current combine together within the semiconductor material.
Down
- 1. special USB lead to connect the microproces- sor board to the Arduino IDE Software for powering or pro- gramming.
- 4. This is used to store the electrical power that can be used in the console. These batteries also have a lower chance of leaking due to their gel-like characteristic.
- 5. loudspeaker that uses the piezoelectric effect for generating sound. The initial mechanical motion is created by applying a voltage to a piezoelectric ma- terial using a frequency modulated signal
