Controllers

Controller modules

A controller module has integrate behavior to relate inputs to outputs. A controller may be built out of simple electronic components and/or microcontrollers.

Microcontrollers are tiny computers that receive and generate electrical currents. They can be used to control motors, lights and sounds. Some microcontrollers have built-in sensors and buttons which makes even easier to integrate them in your project. We will use microcontrollers supported by https://makecode.com in this guide but there are many others out there.

The module color is yellow for controllers. For controllers you can also overlay more colors to denote their capabilities.
