Eli5: What does it take to make an everyday object programmable? Is it inserting a CPU in it?
In: Technology
Depends on what you’re programming. You can’t program a spring to push on things. A computer has outputs which output electricity. You need something that can translate electricity into motion if you want to control things that move, typically with motors. If your motors need more power than your computer can supply directly, then you also need a power supply and amplifier.
