Circuit Documentation

Summary

This circuit is designed using an Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller, which interfaces with multiple pushbuttons and rotary encoders. The pushbuttons are used for user input, while the rotary encoders provide additional control options. The circuit is powered by a 3.3V supply and utilizes various digital pins for reading the states of the buttons and encoders.


Component List

1. Arduino Mega 2560

  • Description: A microcontroller board based on the ATmega2560. It has 54 digital input/output pins, 16 analog inputs, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button.
  • Purpose: Acts as the main control unit for the circuit, processing inputs from the pushbuttons and rotary encoders.

2. Pushbutton

  • Description: A simple switch that closes the circuit when pressed.
  • Purpose: Used for user input to trigger actions in the circuit.

3. Rotary Encoder

  • Description: A device that converts the angular position or motion of a shaft or axle to an analog or digital signal.
  • Purpose: Provides a way to control parameters in the circuit, such as volume or speed, by rotating the encoder.
