Physical computing
Qualifying statement:
Learners can write programs which use active and passive electronic components. They can receive data from input components and control output components using a computer or microcontroller.
Example outcomes
- Can design and construct simple prototype circuits using components connected directly to GPIO pins
- Can recognise and use polar components, such as LEDs and capacitors
- Can write programs to read data from digital and analogue inputs and to control digital and analogue outputs
