 1.  What is an embedded system?
     - An embedded system is the integration of sensors, actuators and intelligence into a system
     - Allows the system to produce more capable and robust performance
 2.  What is a microcontroller?
     - A microcontroller is esentially a small computer on a single circuit board
     - Usually contains a processor, memory and programmable I/O
 3.  SPI, ADC, UART, I2C
     - I2C stands for inter-integrated circuit and is a serial computer bus
     - It is used for attaching lower-speed peripheral I2C to processors and micro controllers.
     - UART is a universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter that translates data between serial/parallel forms.
     - It is used for serial communications over a computer or serial device port.
     - Analog to digital converter (ADC) is a device that converts a physical quantity (voltage) to a digital form
     - It enables the conversion of a physical quantity to a digital number that represents the quantity's amplitude
     - Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) bus is a synchronous serial communication interface specification 
     - It is used for short distance communication, primarily in embedded systems
 4. How do you think this information will relate to this lab?
     - They are all communication protocols
     - This information is useful as these protocols are integrated into the embedded system 

• Finish Arduino tutorials
• Add BOM
