Circuit Documentation

Summary

This document provides a detailed overview of a circuit that includes an Arduino UNO microcontroller, a 4x4 membrane matrix keypad, a 16x2 LCD display, various resistors, a blue LED, a buzzer, a potentiometer, and a servomotor (MG995). The circuit is designed to interface with the keypad and display user input on the LCD, while also providing visual (LED) and audible (buzzer) feedback. The potentiometer is used to adjust the contrast of the LCD display, and the servomotor is controlled by the Arduino UNO.

Component List

Microcontroller

  • Arduino UNO: A microcontroller board based on the ATmega328P. It has digital input/output pins, analog inputs, a USB connection for programming, and power management features.

Input Devices

  • 4X4 Membrane Matrix Keypad: A 16-button keypad that provides a simple user interface for inputting commands or data.

Output Devices

  • LCD Display 16x2: A liquid crystal display capable of displaying 16 characters per line across 2 lines, used for showing information to the user.
  • LED: Two Pin (blue): A blue light-emitting diode used as a visual indicator.
  • buzzer: An electronic buzzer for audible alerts or feedback.
  • Servomotor MG995: A high-torque servomotor for precise control of mechanical movement.

Passive Components

  • Resistors: Three resistors with different resistance values (200 Ohms, 1000 Ohms, and 220 Ohms) used for current limiting and voltage division.
  • Potentiometer: A variable resistor used to adjust the contrast of the LCD display.
