Soon, cars, stoplights, homes and more will all be communicating, and learning to program them is a valuable skill to have! What is a Microcontroller? A micro controller is what allows devices like lights and speakers that use electrical impulses to Coding With Kids Franchise communicate and be programmed by a computer. You can take any input, such as the brightness of light, temperature, or sound, and create responsive outputs such as lights, sounds, and screens. How does it work? Them micro controller allows you to wire up and communicate between several components on or connected to the board. Some send electrical signals (also known as analog signals) and others can communicate with computers and be programmed because they use digital (101001001) signals. What comes next? Makey Makey is a simple version of a microcontroller, but Launch also has a
