2. Define Sketches.

A program written in the Arduino programming language is called sketch. A sketch is


normally saved with the “.ino” extension (from Arduino).

3. Draw the block diagram of sensor node.


4. What is tool chain?

A tool chain is simply a set of software tools that work together to complete a task. for
example, if we were going to hang a picture, the tool chain might include a hammer, maybe a
tape measure and some nails. The Arduino tool chain refers to the set of software tools used to
develop and deploy programs for Arduino microcontroller boards.

5. What is Arduino Shields?

Arduino shields are the boards, which are plugged over the Arduino board to expand its
functionalities. Shield is defined as the hardware device that can be mounted over the board to
increase the capabilities of the projects.

6. List the examples of sensor and transducers.


Sensor:
1. Barometer
2. Gyroscope
3. Accelerometer.
Transducers
1. Thermocouple
2. Thermistor
3. Antennas
7. Define Actuators.

Actuators are devices or mechanisms that convert electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, or


mechanical energy into physical movement or action. They are commonly used in various
systems and applications to control or manipulate objects, components, or processes. Actuators
can produce linear, rotary, or oscillating motion, depending on their design and intended
function. Examples of actuators include electric motors, hydraulic cylinders, pneumatic valves,
solenoids, and piezoelectric transducers.

8. Classify the different types of Sensors

Active or passive:

• Sensors can be categorized based on whether they produce an energy output and typically
require an external power supply (active) or

• Whether they simply receive energy and typically require no external power supply
(passive).

Invasive or non-invasive:

• Sensors can be categorized based on whether a sensor is part of the environment it is


measuring (invasive) or
• External to it (non-invasive).

Contact or no-contact:

• Sensors can be categorized based on whether they require physical contact with what
they are measuring (contact) or not (no-contact).

Absolute or relative:

• Sensors can be categorized based on whether they measure on an absolute scale


(absolute) or based on a difference with a fixed or variable reference value (relative)

9. Define Arduino.

Arduino is an open source microcontroller which can be easily programmed, erased and
reprogrammed at any instant of time.

10. What are the key application functionalities of IoT systems?

Information and analysis


 Tracking behavior
 Enhanced situational awareness
 Sensor-driven decision analytics
Automation and control
 Process optimization
 Optimized resource consumption
 Complex autonomous system
11. Point out the challenges faced by Internet of Things.
 Security. In our opinion, security is the most crucial issue that needs to be addressed
for IoT.
 Costs.
 Reliability and Hardware.
 Ease of Integration.
 Connectivity.
 Development Skill set.
12. In what way Raspberry pi is better than arduino ?

In summary, Arduino has a simpler software environment that is well-suited for basic
control of inputs and outputs, while Raspberry Pi has a more powerful and versatile
operating system that provides greater functionality for complex projects.
