Electronics Exercises
This document tracks a number of small exercises to prototype. The goal is not a final product but skill building.
- Control a stepper motor
- Rotary encode rotation data
- Use a servo-motor
- Build a filter (Hi-pass, low-pass, mid-pass)
- Use the AVR chip from an Arduino (off the board)
- Build a class D amp
- Use an FTDI chip with AVR
- Use an SPI LCD with AVR
Stepper
First, control it with manual switches.
I'd like to build a driver around the AtTiny2313. It has 18 IO pins. I'll use 4 pins for the driver out, 1 pin for direction, 1 pin out to indicate if the motor is stopped. That leaves 12 pins for steps and speed.
