Summary - New 2023-2025 Exam Specification

Unit 4 covers the large number of input and output devices that are required by the specification. All key input and output devices are introduced, with a special focus on the technologies that students may have less understanding of such as 2D and 3D scanners, actuators and various sensors such as accelerometer, infra-red and proximity sensors. Students will also be shown how to identify the type of data captured by each sensor. Finally, an end of unit final assessment test will cover all aspects of the unit.
