myKnobDriver

[SunainaK]

Description:

In this project a knob (like this: https://www.sparkfun.com/datasheets/Components/TW-700198.pdf) is used to control a counter on the FPGA. If you have problems wiring the knob, have a look at the myRIO Project Essentials Guide!

At first the input signals will be debounced with the debouncer.vi. (May not necessary if proper capacitors are available to debounce the knob on the hardware side!) After that, the Gray-code representation of the rotating direction will be detected in rotaryKnobDriver.vi, which computes the corresponding actions on the counter.

The project also shows how to use the rotaryKnobDriver.vi multiple times, while each instance of the VI operates as a dedicated counter, since the VIs are running in preallocated clone reentrant execution mode. 

Modified Pin-out:

Pins

Connector A DIO0 – A-signal of the first knob

Connector A DIO1 – B-signal of the first knob

Connector A DIO2 – BUTTON-signal of the first knob, directly connected to the LED0

Connector A DIO3 – A-signal of the second knob

Connector A DIO4 – B-signal of the second knob

Connector A DIO5 – BUTTON-signal of the second knob, directly connected to the LED1

Connector B DIO0 – A-signal of the third knob

Connector B DIO1 – B-signal of the third knob

Connector B DIO2 – BUTTON-signal of the third knob, directly connected to the LED2

Connector B DIO3 – A-signal of the fourth knob

Connector B DIO4 – B-signal of the fourth knob

Connector B DIO5 – BUTTON-signal of the fourth knob, directly connected to the LED3
