Indication of Signal

September 4, 2018 By Adeept

Introduction

The LED bar is an analog indicating component usually used for volume indication.

The internal schematic diagram for the LED bar graph is as shown below:

Components

– 1 * Adeept Arduino UNO R3 Board

– 1 * LED Bar Module

– 1 * USB Cable

– 1 * 4-Pin Wires

Experimental Principle

The Fritzing image:

Pin definition:

The schematic diagram:

The experiment is to control the number of LEDs brightened on the LED bar graph by programming the Arduino.

Experimental Procedures

Step 1: Build the circuit

Step 2: Install the function library (Adeept_Bar.zip).Adeept_Bar

Step 3: Program _32_LEDBarModule.ino

/***********************************************************
File name: _32_LEDBarModule.ino
Description: This example will show you how to use the setBits() 
             function of this library.Set any combination of 
             LEDs using 10 bits.
             The setBits() function sets the current state, 
             one bit for each LED.First 10 bits from the right
             control the 10 LEDs.
             eg. 0b00000jihgfedcba
             a = LED 1, b = LED 2, c = LED 3, etc.
             dec    hex     binary
             0    = 0x0   = 0b000000000000000 = all LEDs off
             5    = 0x05  = 0b000000000000101 = LEDs 1 and 3 on, all others off
             341  = 0x155 = 0b000000101010101 = LEDs 1,3,5,7,9 on, 2,4,6,8,10 off
             1023 = 0x3ff = 0b000001111111111 = all LEDs on
                      |        |
