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 motor that operates as a closed-loop system, using feedback to control the position, speed, and torque accurately.
Reference Input
The desired value or setpoint that a control system tries to achieve.
Electrical Actuator
A device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy to produce linear or rotary motion.
Setpoint
The desired value or target value that the system aims to achieve.
Linear Actuator
An electrical actuator that produces linear motion, often used in applications such as robotics or automation systems.
Controller
The component of a control system that calculates the necessary adjustments to minimize the error signal.
Brushless DC Motor
A motor that uses electronic commutation instead of brushes to control the current flow in the windings, resulting in better efficiency and longevity.
PID Control
A control algorithm that adjusts the output based on the proportional, integral, and derivative terms.
Piezoelectric Actuator
A type of actuator that uses the piezoelectric effect to generate motion when an electric field is applied.
Stepper Motor
A type of electrical actuator that moves in discrete steps, based on digital pulses, allowing for precise control.
