INPUT DEVICES

• Barcode scanner: Reads barcodes using laser/LED; used in retail; fast + accurate; can’t read
damaged codes.
• Digital camera: Captures still images/videos; high quality; storage needed.
• Keyboard: Manual text entry; accurate; slow + tiring.
• Microphone: Captures sound; allows voice input; background noise interference.
• Optical mouse: Detects movement using light; precise; needs flat surface.
• QR code scanner: Reads QR codes (store more data than barcodes); fast; needs camera clarity.
• Touch screen:
– Resistive: Pressure-based; cheap; low clarity.
– Capacitive: Finger touch; high clarity; doesn’t accept gloves.
– Infra-red: Grid of beams; durable; expensive.
• 2D scanner: Scans flat images/documents; accurate; slow.
• 3D scanner: Captures object shape; high accuracy; expensive.

OUTPUT DEVICES
• Actuator: Produces movement (motors/valves); used in control systems.
• DLP projector: Uses tiny mirrors + light; bright images; can be noisy.
• Inkjet printer: Sprays tiny droplets; cheap, good for photos; slow, cartridges pricey.
• Laser printer: Uses toner + laser; fast, sharp text; expensive.
• LED screen: Uses LEDs; bright, energy efficient.
• LCD projector: Uses liquid crystal panels; good image quality.
• LCD screen: Standard display; low energy use; limited viewing angle.
• Speaker: Outputs sound; volume distortion possible.
• 3D printer: Builds objects layer-by-layer; precise; slow + expensive.

SENSORS
• Acoustic: Detects sound; security alarms.
• Accelerometer: Detects movement/tilt; phones, gaming.
• Flow: Measures liquid/gas flow; industrial systems.
• Gas: Detects gases; safety systems.
• Humidity: Measures moisture in air; climate control.
• Infra-red: Detects heat/motion; automatic doors.
• Level: Measures liquid level; tanks.
• Light: Detects light intensity; streetlights.
• Magnetic field: Detects magnetic changes; compasses.
• Moisture: Soil moisture; irrigation.
• pH: Acidity/alkalinity; labs, agriculture.
• Pressure: Detects force; weather stations.
• Proximity: Detects nearby objects; phones, robots.
• Temperature: Measures heat; thermostats.
