C7: Arduino Basics & I/O with Tinkercad Circuits
  1. What are output devices?
    Output devices receive signals from the Arduino and perform an action. Examples include LEDs, buzzers, motors, and displays.

  2. How does Arduino send signals to outputs?
    Arduino sends HIGH or LOW digital signals (or analog PWM signals) through its output pins to control these devices.

  3. Which pins are used for output?
    Digital pins (like pin 2, 3, 4…) are used for turning devices ON/OFF. PWM pins (marked with ~) are used for dimming LEDs or controlling motor speed.

  4. Why are outputs important?
    They show us that Arduino is working and reacting to inputs — like blinking a light to show a button was pressed.
