Conclusion Questions
3.1.1
1. Describe how these motors and sensors may be used.
The sensor can tell the motor when something is coming and then the motor could operate the machine. For example in stores the doors open before you get to the door because there is sensor that sees you coming. The motor actually opens the door.
2. Describe scenarios where the motors or sensors did not respond as you would predict.
Sometimes the line sensor wasn’t that accurate as I thought.
3.1.2
1. Describe any challenges that you encountered while developing the program.
While coding if I would hit the insert button it was hard to type comments where you wanted them to go. Also if there was an error it took a while to figure out what was causing the error.
2. Describe how these outputs might be used in an application.
These outputs could be used to power separate components of a system.
3.1.3
1. Describe any challenges that you encountered while developing the program.
I sometimes forgot to capitalize letters in the coding, which made the system have an error.
2. Describe three applications for the use of sensors that you worked with in this activity.
-Sensing the amount of light
-Seeing a distance
-Moving a motor to a distance
3.1.4
1. Describe any challenges that you encountered while developing the programs.
The only problem that I encountered is trying to set up the infinite loop but that was the only problem
2. Describe one application each for While loops and If-Else structures.
A system having more than one possible outcomes, like a calculator.
