A program consists of nodes connected to one or more patches. It is an ecosystem where all patches and nodes work in one specific action.
Menu bar
is a graphical control element of XOD that contains a drop-down menu to help you navigate the entire environment.
Project Browser Library
contains a variety of libraries of sections that allows you to manage all patches and add nodes to your project. It consists of xod/bits that deal with binary and bit functions, xod/common-hardware representing sensors and electronic components, and other xod libraries.
Inspector Bar
contains the values of each node's active input and output pin that you can change during program creation.
Deployment Bar
displays the status report of each active node from compiling, debugging, uploading, simulating, and serial display of the created program.
Quick Help Bar
consists of helping tips to recall the parts and functions of each active node.
Patch
is the large grey background working canvas with boxes in your program.

diode
is a semiconductor device that acts as a switch for current. It allows the current to flow in one specific direction.
two-terminal electronic component
Anode and cathode
anode
or positive that can handle a high resistance
cathode
or negative that can handle a low resistance.
cathode
or negative that can handle a low resistance.
rectifier
The common application of a diode is that it can be used as a
rectifier
that converts alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) that redirects the flow of electricity.
