Electronics Worksheet: Input and Output Pins
Remember (Read in, drive out): Inputs: buttons, knobs, sensors. Outputs: LEDs, buzzers, motors, displays. Digital: HIGH (≈ 5 V) or LOW (0 V) only. Analog: any value in a range. Trace the program: only the LED’s own pin matters, and its last command decides ON or OFF.
