15. Introduction to Digital World
Digitus (latin) = Finger

16. Introduction to Digital World
Digitus (latin) = Finger

17. Electronics deals with the controlled flow of electrons
The ability to control electron flow is usually applied to information handling or device control.

18. Electricity phenomena resulting from the
Presence and flow of electric charge
deals with the generation, distribution, control and application of electrical power

19. Electric potential

20. Electric current
 a flow of electric charge
unit for rate of flow of electric charge is the ampere. conductive metal 

21. Electric ~ Trafic

22. Electric Components

23. Wires
carry electricity and telecommunications signals

24. Switch (anahtar)
electrical component that can break an electrical circuit

25. Resistors (direnç) V = IR produces a voltage across its terminals
that is proportional to
the electric current 
V = IR

26. Potentiometer ?
three-terminal resistor with a sliding contact that forms an adjustable voltage divider

27. Diode (diyot)
allow an electric current in one direction and to block the current in the opposite direction

28. Light Emiting Diode (LED)
electronic light source lower energy consumption, longer lifetime, improved robustness, smaller size and faster switching

29. Circuit
a closed path or paths formed by the interconnection of electronic components through which an electric current can flow

30. Arduino Board

32. Assignment week2
Imagine and create a concept for a fantasy interactive outdoor installation. This installation should be visually communicative with people around on street, square, metro, shopping mall, ext. based on physical interaction methods. Visualize your concept; explain functionality and your approach for physical interaction. Publish the content in your web-log. (before 1pm next Tuesday )
