| - | ==== DAC (Digital to Analog Converter) ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Need to be able to output analog voltages to drive steam gauges. So will convert from a value like 3200 feet from the X-Plane simulator, to a voltage like 2.92 V, which will drive the gauge. | ||

| - | ==== Multiplexing ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | The Raspberry Pi has two outputs which are I2C, sort of like USB. In order to drive the high quantity of analog outputs, a multiplexing scheme will need to be developed, both in hardware and in software. This is because each device must have a unique address. | ||

| The Arduino can measure an analog signal without any additional components. 10 bits - 0 to 1023 value output. | The Arduino can measure an analog signal without any additional components. 10 bits - 0 to 1023 value output. | ||
| - | ==== HT16K33 LED Module ==== | ||
| - | Purchased 3-pack of 8x8 LED modules (all red) with embedded HT16K33 multiplexer. Problem is, the code for this is from an Arduino, and the Arduino must be a Master, which won't work when the Raspberry Pi is the Master. | ||
