So I went back and reread the article at BLDR and realized that you can control thousands of LEDs using 74H595/Arduino but you can only have a dozen or so on at any one time. read the values on encoderPinA and encoderPinB (the one comes from the first mux, and the other from the other). When you multiplex a large number of LEDs individually the common way is to use an N x M matrix. Next consider the pinout diagram from the data sheet. If you have multiple LEDs on at once then you may exceed the 200mA which is not good for the microcontroller. If for some reason you have the 74HCT4067 it can only work on 4.55.5V DC. How is this useful Well all microcontrollers have a Digital Pin (GPIO) maximum output current which usually doesn't go much higher than 200mA. If you just need a few LEDs, using a TLC5947 (24 pwm channels) or some of the MBI ones may be better. You need the latter if you do multiplexing for turning on the active row/column. return analogRead (muxInput) // now read the sensor The first thing to note is that the 74HC4067 can operate on voltages between 2 and 6V DC, which allows use with 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers and boards such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi. The ones I mentioned connect the anodes of an LED to +, current flows out of these chips. select correct MUX channel on both muxesĭigitalWrite (s2, (which & 1) ?

Arduino led multiplex update#
Int previousEncoderPinAState = Ĭonst byte muxInput = A0 // where the multiplexer in/out port is connectedīool potValueChanged = true //bool to know if pot value changed, needed for display update Now that I have multiplexers in between, although I have set the input pins on the arduino to INPUT_PULLUP where the multiplexers send values, I don't know if this is the proper thing to do. In this tutorial we will be controlling 25 LEDs using Shift registers and NpN transistors to minimize the number of Arduino pins needed to control the lights.
Arduino led multiplex code#
When I was trying to make an encoder work with my arduino I figured I needed a pullup resistor otherwise I could make any code work. Our main problem when making a 5X5 LED matrix is the limited number of Arduino output pins we have to control it.
Yesterday I managed to multiplex 4 rotary encoders using 2 hc4051c multiplexers.Īlthough everything was going ok when I tried for the first time, after some modifications (disconnected and reconnected my encoders and made an extra Serial.print in my code) only the rotary encoder on pin 7 was playing correctly, all other encoders had constantly their b pin high.
