Question 14 of 23beginner🧠 RememberShort Answer2 marks

What are the materials required by the automation system?

Correct Answer

The materials required for an automation system include:

(1) Microcontroller (such as Arduino Uno or Raspberry Pi Pico) – the brain of the system.

(2) Sensors (such as PIR motion sensor, moisture sensor, temperature sensor, or sound sensor) – to detect environmental changes.

(3) Output devices (such as LED, buzzer, DC motor, servo motor, relay, or LCD) – to perform actions.

(4) Breadboard – for prototyping without soldering.

(5) Jumper wires – to connect components.

(6) Resistors (such as 220 ohm) – to limit current.

(7) USB cable – to connect microcontroller to computer for programming.

(8) Computer with Arduino IDE installed – for writing and uploading programmes.

(9) Power source (such as battery or adapter) – to power the system.
