SCK (Serial Clock)maker

Serial Clock (SCK) is a signal used in synchronous serial communication for timing data transmission.

SCL (Serial Clock Line)maker

SCL (Standard Command Language) is a script-based language used to automate manufacturing equipment and processes.

SDA (Serial Data)maker

Serial Data Line utilized for communication between integrated circuits on an I2C bus.

Sensormaker

A sensor is a device that detects changes in physical or environmental conditions and converts them into signals that can be read by an observer or an instrument.

Serial Monitormaker

A serial monitor is a software tool used to communicate with microcontrollers via a serial communication interface.

Servo Motormaker

A servo motor is an electric motor designed for precise control of angular or linear position, velocity, and acceleration.

Shield (Arduino)maker

An extension board that enhances the capabilities of microcontrollers by providing additional interfaces and modules.

Single-Board Computermaker

A single-board computer is a complete computer built on a single circuit board.

SLA (Stereolithography)maker

Stereolithography (SLA) is an additive manufacturing process using a UV laser to cure photopolymer resin layer by layer.

Slicing (3D Printing)maker

Slicing is the process of converting 3D models into a series of 2D layers for 3D printing.

SMD Solderingmaker

SMD soldering is the process of joining surface-mount device (SMD) components to a printed circuit board (PCB) using solder.

Solder Suckermaker

A device used to remove molten solder from circuit board joints.

Solderingmaker

Soldering is a process of joining two or more electrical components by melting solder around the connection, creating a permanent bond.

Soldering Ironmaker

A soldering iron is a hand tool used to melt solder for creating electrical connections between components.

SPI Protocolmaker

SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) Protocol is a synchronous serial communication protocol used primarily for short-distance communication.

SRAMmaker

A type of volatile memory that uses flip-flop circuits to store each bit.

SS (Slave Select)maker

SS stands for 'stainless steel', a corrosion-resistant alloy made predominantly of iron, carbon, and a minimum of 10.5% chromium by mass.

Stepper Motormaker

A stepper motor is an electromechanical device that converts electrical pulses into discrete mechanical movements.
