Fixed Typos in 1.3 (#55)

The "Voltage" as a unit takes the capital letter "V" that I have put in the places where there were "v" .
Some typos have been corrected as well with punctuation marks.

 IoT devices are digital - they can't work with analog values, they only work with 0s and 1s. This means that analog sensor values need to be converted to a digital signal before they can be processed. Many IoT devices have analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) to convert analog inputs to digital representations of their value. Sensors can also work with ADCs via a connector board. For example, in the Seeed Grove ecosystem with a Raspberry Pi, analog sensors connect to specific ports on a 'hat' that sits on the Pi connected to the Pi's GPIO pins, and this hat has an ADC to convert the voltage into a digital signal that can be sent off the Pi's GPIO pins.
 
-Imagine you have an analog light sensor connected to an IoT device that uses 3.3V, and is returning a value of 1v. This 1v doesn't mean anything in the digital world, so needs to be converted. The voltage will be converted to an analog value using a scale depending on the device and sensor. One example is the Seeed Grove light sensor which outputs values from 0 to 1,023. For this sensor running at 3.3V, a 1v output would be a value of 300. An IoT device can't handle 300 as an analog value, so the value would be converted to `0000000100101100`, the binary representation of 300 by the Grove hat. This would then be processed by the IoT device.

-✅ If you don't know binary then do a small amount of research to learn how numbers are represented by 0s and 1s. The [BBC Bitesize introduction to binary lesson](https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/zwsbwmn/revision/1) is a great place to start.

 From a coding perspective, all this is usually handled by libraries that come with the sensors, so you don't need to worry about this conversion yourself. For the Grove light sensor you would use the Python library and call the `light` property, or use the Arduino library and call `analogRead` to get a value of 300.

 Pins on IoT devices such as GPIO pins can measure this signal directly as a 0 or 1. If the voltage sent is the same as the voltage returned, the value read is 1, otherwise the value read is 0. There is no need to convert the signal, it can only be 1 or 0.

 More advanced digital sensors read analog values, then convert them using on-board ADCs to digital signals. For example a digital temperature sensor will still use a thermocouple in the same way as an analog sensor, and will still measure the change in voltage caused by the resistance of the thermocouple at the current temperature. Instead of returning an analog value and relying on the device or connector board to convert to a digital signal, an ADC built into the sensor will convert the value and send it as a series of 0s and 1s to the IoT device. These 0s and 1s are sent in the same way as the digital signal for a button with 1 being full voltage and 0 being 0v.
