C10: Arduino / RPi Pico Advanced – Actuator Interfacing

Have you ever waited at a traffic light and noticed how it changes at just the right moment?
Or watched a washing machine go through wash → rinse → spin in a specific order?

In all these cases, the timing of actions is not random — it is planned and controlled by a system.

Without proper timing:

  • Traffic lights could switch too soon, causing accidents.

  • Robots might drop parts because movements are out of sync.

  • Appliances could waste electricity and water.

Timing Control is the art of sequencing actions over time so machines work safely, efficiently, and predictably.
