A control system manages, commands, directs, or regulates other devices or systems using control loops.

What is a closed loop system?
The control action is dependent on the desired and actual process variable. A closed loop system has a feedback loop which ensures it produces a control action. Closed-loop controllers are also called feedback controllers.

Which are the elements of a closed loop system?

Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, hardware and software.

Where was Arduino born?
The Arduino project started at the Interaction Design Institute Ivrea (IDII) in Ivrea, Italy; in 2005.

Who were its founders?
Its main founder was Massimo Banzi with help from Casey Reas and Hernando Barragán.

Which are its elements?

An actuator is a component of a machine that is responsible for moving or controlling a system; for example by actuating opening or closing a valve.

How do LEDs work?
They are illuminated solely by the movement of electrons in a semiconductor material, and they last just as long as a standard transistor.

What is the difference between a DC motor and a servomotor?
A DC motor has a two wire connection. All drive power is supplied over these two wires. When you turn on a DC motor, it just starts spinning. The servomotor receives a control signal, and applies power to its DC motor until its shaft turns to that position.

1. A toaster - Open-loop
Bread is put into the toaster, a timer is set, and a lever is pushed acting as a switch to start the process. The toaster coils heat and then the toast pops up, coils turn off, and the process ends.]]> 2018-01-08 09:41:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mariapilar_garcia_sanchez/l8op5xzc40lk/wish/219273647
