Arduino Signal Generator – Hardware and Software

The best part about building an Arduino-based project is that you can take a modular approach. As described earlier, my Arduino signal generator involves the integration of a number of modules: Arduino, LCD Keypad, optical encoder and digital signal generator. The most successful approach is usually to get each module working correctly, one function at a time.

In this article, I describe integrating the controls and display.  This involves understanding the hardware, and writing the software to make everything work together.

Last year, a friend of mine told me about the Arduino. He was using one with his model railroad. Hang on, I said, you don’t know anything about computers. “I don’t need to”, he replied. “It only took me a few weeks to learn how to use the Arduino.” My friend is a business executive. The Arduino went on my Christmas wish list (thanks Bob) and I have not looked back.
