What are loop cards?

Loop cards are a great game that can be played individually or as a class. They are perfect for review key vocabulary or questions at the end of a topic or when revising for an exam.

Instructions

  1. Cut out the cards from the paper horizontally (but don't cut them in half!) and then shuffle them.
  2. Now start joining each question on the right hand side of the card to the matching answer on the next card.
  3. Carry on until all the cards loop together and you have competed the game!

Hint: Make sure that you set your paper to portrait to print 4 cards per sheet of A4 paper.

Edit Vocab

A technique used to control the position of a servo motor by varying the width of electrical pulses.
Error
The difference between the desired value and the actual value of the controlled variable.
Actuator
The part of a control system that converts the controller's output into a physical action or signal.
Linear Actuator
An electrical actuator that produces linear motion, often used in applications such as robotics or automation systems.
Electrical Actuator
A device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy to produce linear or rotary motion.
Derivative
A control strategy where control output is proportional to the rate of change of the error signal.
Servo Motor
A motor that operates as a closed-loop system, using feedback to control the position, speed, and torque accurately.
Open Loop Control System
A control system where the output is not fed back to the input.
PID Control
A control algorithm that adjusts the output based on the proportional, integral, and derivative terms.
Integral Control
A control strategy that accumulates the error signal over time to eliminate steady-state errors.
