OCR: COMPUTERS AND DIGITAL BASICS How does microcontroller work? Consider the microcontroller in a FIGURE 1-22 Sub-Zero refrigerator. accepts user input for desired temperatures in the A microcontroller is usually refrigerator and freezer compartments. 1+ stores these desired temperatures mounted on circuit board and in memory Temperature sensors collect additional input of the actual tem- then installed in machine or peratures. The microcontroller processes the input data by comparing the appliance using wires to carry actual I temperature to the desired temperature. As the microcontroller input and output signals sends signals activate the cooling motor as necessary It also generates a digital readout of the refrigerator and freezer temperatures S microcontroller really computer? Recall that ...
