Overview A deadband or deadband (also known as a dead zone or a neutral zone) is a band of input values in the domain of a transfer function in a control system or signal processing system where the output is zero (the output is ‘dead’ – no action occurs). Deadband regions can be used in control systems such as servo amplifiers to prevent oscillation or repeated activation-deactivation cycles (called ‘hunting’ in proportional control systems)….
Overview This tutorial will help you connect App Inventor with a temperature sensor on an Arduino controller. Block Diagram: Pins connection: About Bluetooth module HC-05: HC-05 is a Bluetooth module which is designed for wireless communication. It uses serial communication to communicate with devices. HC-05 has a red LED which indicates connection status, whether the Bluetooth…
Overview In this tutorial, we will look at Arduino interrupts. Interrupts are useful in many cases where a process simply wants to continue its main function, and other devices (timers or external events) come to its attention if necessary. Specifications: ATMEGA2560 Microcontroller Operating Voltage: 5V Input Voltage (recommended): 7-12V Input Voltage (limits): 6-20V Digital I/O Pins: 54 (of…
Overview In this guide, we will learn how to use the TM1637 4-digit 7-segment LED display with the TMS320. These screens are cheaper and more suitable for displaying sensor data, time, stopwatch, random numbers, etc. They are similar to other 4-digit 7-segment displays, but have a built-in TM1637 LED driver IC. This eliminates additional wiring…
Overview This is a simple project on the seven segment display interface with tms320f28335. The tutorial presents a simple example of printing numeric numbers on a seven-segment display. The tutorial task is to print numbers from 0 to 9 on a single seven-segment display. There are two types of seven-segment displays, Common Anode and Common…
Overview In this tutorial, we will learn how to blink the LED using the TMS320F28335 microcontroller. SOFTWARE: Code Composer Studio HARDWARE REQUIRED: Specifications: TMS320F28335 Microcontrollers On-chip memory Communications peripherals Analog subsystem Enhanced control peripherals (EPWM) •16-bit or 32-bit External Interface (XINTF) Up to 88 individually programmable, multiplexed GPIO pins with input filtering Three 32-bit CPU…
Overview Today in this tutorial we are going to interface the 74HC4051 multiplexer/demultiplexer interface with TMS320F28379D. First, I’ll talk about the multiplexing part. Components to be Used: Circuit Diagram About ADC Multiplexer CD74HC4067 Have you ever had enough contacts to read a set of analog sensors? Don’t worry, you’re not alone, it happens to the…
Overview Hi guys, today we are going to talk about another interesting and important module that interacts with the TMS320. We’ll just deal with the joystick first. Then learn about the joystick interface with the TMS320 in this article. What is a joystick, and how does it work? The joystick is essentially an input device…
Introduction The CAN bus was developed by BOSCH (1) as a mufti-master, message broadcast system that specifies a maximum signalling rate of 1 megabit per second (bps). Unlike a traditional network such as USB or Ethernet, CAN does not send large blocks of data point-to-point from node A to node B under the supervision of…
Overview communication between the MCU controller and external peripherals or another controller. Typical applications include external I/O or peripheral expansion with devices such as shift registers, display controllers, and analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). Communication between multiple devices is supported in SPI master or slave mode. The port supports 16-level receive and transmits FIFOs to reduce CPU…
