Name any two devices in your school or home that have a microcontroller.
Two devices that have a microcontroller are:
-
Washing machine – A fully automatic washing machine uses a microcontroller to control the washing cycle automatically without human intervention. It manages tasks like filling water, soaking, washing, draining, and spin-drying clothes.
-
Microwave – A microwave oven has a microcontroller embedded in it to perform specific functions like controlling cooking time and temperature settings.
Other examples of devices with microcontrollers include keyboard, mouse, digital camera, pendrive, and remote controller.
Explanation
The textbook explicitly lists keyboard, mouse, washing machine, digital camera, pendrive, remote controller, and microwave as examples of devices with microcontrollers. The context also explains that microcontrollers are embedded in devices to perform specific functionalities, such as controlling washing cycles in fully automatic washing machines. Students can choose any two devices from this list.
