5/17- LED Compass

  • Challenge: LED compass

  • Using only the datasheet for the 74HC4017, create a circuit that will allow you to enter a compass heading from 0 to 360 degrees into the serial monitor and then light one of 10 LEDs placed in a circle indicating where on the compass that entered heading is pointing.

  • BASIC UNDERSTANDING

SESSION OVERVIEW: This session we used the 74HC4017 to make an LED Compass where we type a number and the led that corresponds to it lights up. For example if I type 0 degrees the top LED would light up
