Sensors and actuators

Sensors

A sensor is an object capable of detecting physical or chemical quantities and transforming them into electrical signals.

Depending on the type of the electrical signal produced they can be DIGITAL, ANALOG or DATA.

Actuators

An actuator is any device capable of performing actions in the physical world that we can control from a processor board (like Arduino)

Depending on the type of action produced they can be:
