In this project we are going to interface a ROTARY ENCODER with ARDUINO.  ARDUINO UNO is an ATMEGA controller based development board designed for electronic engineers and hobbyists. In ARDUINO we have 20 I/O pins, so we can program 20 pins of UNO to be used as either input or output. A ROTARY ENCODER is used to know the position of movement and angular movement of a motor or axis. It’s a three terminal dev ...

Have you wanted to make a sweet Cylon/Knight Rider (Larson) Scanner effect? But you don’t want to use up all of your Arduino IO pins? Well, you can make a nice 8 LED Scanner with a shift register IC. In this tutorial we’ll be using the 74HC595 8 Bit Shift Register, and this is what we'll be making; Parts Required: Arduino Uno (Or Arduino compatible clone) Jumper Wires (Various colours and lengths) 1x 74HC59 ...
