Sensors and actuators are essential elements of industrial systems. Sensors measure changes in the environment, while actuators control physical changes, both devices serve as mediator between the physical environment and the electronic system where they are embedded. Raspberry Pi provides general purpose header pins that can be connected to sensors, making the low-cost board a popular choice for engineering prototypes.
