Overview In this tutorial, you’ll get to know how to use the rotary encoder. First, you’ll see some information about the rotational encoder, and then you’ll learn how to use a rotary encoder with three practical examples. What You Will Learn What the rotary encoder is and how it works. Displaying encoder position Controlling a LED light using a rotary encoder Controlling a DC moto...

Mojo V3 FPGA Development Board Features Mojo V3 is an FPGA board of the Spartan 6 series, which lets you get the pleasure of configuring digital circuits on Mojo v3 based on your own specifications. What separates this FPGA from the others is the ease of use. The goal of Mojo v3 is to get you up and running with FPGA as easily as possible.The Mojo v3 FPGA Board uses the Spartan 6 and a high performance ATmega32U4 microcontroller. This board has high processing power. The ATmega32U4 microcontroller comes...

Overview Suppose you want to make a 4x4x4 LED matrix. You will need 64 digital pins to control such an LED matrix. So, it would not be affordable if you decided to choose a microcontroller which has that number of digital pins. So, what is the alternative? In such cases, the most suitable way is to use a shift register to increase the number of digital pins of your microcontroller. Increasing the number of digital pins of microcontrollers is among the most attractive and practical topics. In many applicatio...

Overview Power outages are one of the main problems for computers and electrical systems. Sometimes there is data and information in your system that you do not want to be deleted with a power outage. If you do not want your data and information to be lost when the power supply is disconnected, a simple way is to save your data to EEPROM memory.In some projects, such as a 3D printer, when the system is reset, the relevant data can be stored in EEPROM memory to calibrate the equipment and initialize it. ...

Overview A potentiometer is a device that can change its resistance by moving a contact along a fixed resistor. It has three terminals: one connected to each end of the resistor and one connected to the movable contact. By adjusting the position of the contact, the potentiometer can divide the input voltage into different output voltages [Read more in Wikipedia]. Potentiometers work by creating a voltage drop across the resistor that is proportional to its length. For example, if the input voltage is 10...
