    I loved this episode of Science Live! My favorite part was the Technology Spotlight about the NASA spacecraft. For them to crash into an asteroid to protect Earth? Wow. That’s bold.

    I thought the special chips in the calculator were really cool. As well as the sound microprocessors make. It’s cool how Arduinos have microcontrollers.

    Reply
  66. Josiah

    The difference between Micro Processor and Micro Controller.

    Micro Processor is the brain of an electronic object, and it needs separate parts for Memory, Inputs and Outputs, and Processors are mostly the brains of phone, computers.

    Micro Controller is also the brain of electronic objects and its parts built on the chip for Memory, Inputs and Outputs, Controllers are used to control devices. Thank you much Acellus now I know the differences between these devices and what their purposes are. GOD BLESS
