The document provides an overview of key concepts for electronics in the Internet of Things, including:
- Analog and digital signals can be represented by varying the number of bits per sample. More bits provide a more accurate digital representation of an analog signal.
- Microcontrollers have limited capabilities compared to computers, with small memory and ability to run single programs, but are useful for controlling hardware. Computers run full operating systems and can perform high-speed processing.
- Key concepts covered include electricity equations, general purpose input/output (GPIO) pins that can act as voltage sources or meters, pulse width modulation (PWM) for functions like LED dimming, and analog to digital converters (ADCs) for measuring analog
