C7: Arduino Basics & I/O with Tinkercad Circuits
  1. What is an output device?
    A device that receives a signal from the Arduino and performs an action like lighting, moving, or making sound.

  2. What pin type is used for output?
    Digital pins (and PWM pins for analog-like output).

  3. Can an LED be both input and output? Why or why not?
    No. An LED is an output device only — it receives current and gives light, but does not send signals to Arduino.
