What I have learned today? ---- CONTROL
Computers are able to handle data and send signals effenciently. Some of the incredible things they can do is
  • Respond quick to change
  • Systems can run 24 hours a day, 365 days in a year.
  • Systems can dunction in places we would find dangerous or awkward
  • Outputs are reliable and error free
  • Computers can process data quickly and machines can operate faster than us.

Compuer Control
  • robotics
  • systems that require to work without human input at all time
  • automatic systems

SYNTEX/Language (Command)
HTML -- web pages
Java -- Gaming, etc
Robots-- logo

Logo Instructions (Precisely)
  1. Pen down
  2. Turn left 90 degrees
  3. Forward 3 cm
  • dont forget its the machines view not yours (your left is the machines right) :)
Process
  • Timer

Acronyms
  • ADC : analog-to-digital converter
  • DAC
: digital-to-analog converter

  • Vocabulary:
    • command (telling the machine to do something)
    • argument ( )
    • procedure (steps to design)
    • turtle (cursor)
  • Basic commands:
    • fd & bk (forward and backword)
    • lt & rt (lef turtle and right turtle )
    • pu & pd (pen up and pen down)

i had done my robot without circles. but unfortunately the file wouldnt open. SO i did another one but havent completed the full robot yet. Above are the coordinates.
It wasnt super hard but it just took alot of time to finish because
