Identification should include
- how a microcontroller interacts with a computer
- examples (e.g., CNC machine, robotic arm, robotic welder, and the microcontroller as the component or brain that drives the action of the tool).
Process/Skill Questions:
- How is programming a PLC controller different from programming a robotic controller?
- What are G and N codes? What are the differences between G codes and N codes?
- Under what circumstances might a CNC machine be a better choice than a robot?
