A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that implements electrical resistance as a circuit element. In electronic circuits, resistors are used to reduce current flow and adjust signal levels among other uses. Resistance is measured in Ohm with a sign of Ω.

A microcontroller (e.g. Arduino) utilizes I/O signals for communication with external hardware devices, where the most commonly known being GPIO. As a reminder, digital logic circuits have three logic states: high, low and floating (or high impedance). When there’s nothing connected to your GPIO pins, your program will read a floating impedance state, which we do not want. To achieve either high or low states, we’ll have to implement pull-up or pull-down resistors in our digital circuit.

Laser modules emit highly focused beams of light, making them ideal for a wide range of applications. One of the key aspects of a laser module is its power output, typically measured in milliwatts (mW). Arduino compatible laser modules typically have a power output within the lower range ensuring safety and compatibility with the microcontroller board. It's important to note that modules require safety precautions due to their increased risk of eye damage and potential fire hazards for higher-power lasers.

Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. Arduino boards are able to read inputs - light on a sensor, a finger on a button, or a Twitter message - and turn it into an output - activating a motor, turning on an LED, publishing something online. You can tell your board what to do by sending a set of instructions to the microcontroller on the board. To do so you use the Arduino programming language and the Arduino Software (IDE).

Home Alone has since been considered one of the best Christmas films and Somewhere in My Memory has been nominated as best original song. We wanted to recreate the melody of the film's theme song with a piezo buzzer and share with you. Buzzer is used to generate sound, beep or even melody of a song. It can be found in alarm devices, computers, timers and confirmation of user input such as a mouse click or keystroke.
