Coordinate Systems

Polar Coordinate System
A polar coordinate system is a two-dimensional coordinate system in which each point on a plane is determined by a distance from a reference point and an angle from a reference direction.

 

Cartesian Coordinate System
A Cartesian coordinate system in two dimensions (also called a rectangular coordinate system or an orthogonal coordinate system) is defined by an ordered pair of perpendicular lines (axes), a single unit of length for both axes, and an orientation for each axis.

 

What is .NET Framework?

The .NET Framework is a software development framework for building and running applications on Windows. It was introduced by Microsoft in the late 1990 under the NGWS. On 13 February 2002, Microsoft launched the first version of the .NET Framework, referred to as the .NET Framework 1.0.

It is a virtual machine that provide a common platform to run an application that was built using the different language such as C#, VB.NET, Visual Basic, etc. It is also used to create a form based, console-based, mobile and web-based application or services that are available in Microsoft environment. Furthermore, the .NET framework is a pure object oriented, that similar to the Java language. But it is not a platform independent as the Java. So, its application runs only to the windows platform.

 

Logic Gates

Logic gates operate logically and give a binary outcome of either 0 or 1. These are known as switching functions or Boolean functions. Logic gates help the processing functions of these electronic devices and make decisions. There are seven logic gates in total and these are called AND, NOT, OR, XNOR, NAND, XOR and NOR gates.

Bit and Byte

Bit:
Bit is the smallest unit of the computer. It is usually represented with digits 0 and 1.

Byte:
Byte is made of 8 bits. It is used in determining the system storage. Byte is the most common term used in computing. It is used to represent 2^8 = 256 different values.

What is a Stepper Motor?

Stepper motors are DC motors that move in discrete steps. They have multiple coils that are organized in groups called “phases”. By energizing each phase in sequence, the motor will rotate, one step at a time.

 

With a computer controlled stepping you can achieve very precise positioning and/or speed control. For this reason, stepper motors are the motor of choice for many precision motion control applications.

What is RGB Color?

The RGB color system is one of the most well-known color systems in the world. It combines red, green, and blue light to create the colors we see on our TV screens, computer monitors, and smartphones.
