The rc helicopters world is full of surprises. They even involve a LED system. Get to know about RGB LED and more that will ensure top performance. As expected, many can now proceed with their own development, construction and programming.

There are many options to perform rc helicopters       projects. To maintain the level of explanation within reason,Projects and rc helicopters guidelines Articles and not spend a fortune on our poster, we will design monochrome, using only red LEDs. The dimensions of the matrix used to display the texts will be decided by each of the readers, can be as small (7 rows and 5 columns) or as large as desired. A reasonable size and widely used is the 7 rows by 80 columns, you can write about 14 or 16 letters of 7 "pixels" tall. Despite not being too big, you've got to realize that individual LEDs 560 are needed to assemble the poster.

LED rc helicopters lighting

You will realize that these are perfect for rc helicopters. Get to know how to light a LED from a microcontroller. And in fact is very simple: connect the anode of the LED to PIC, the cathode resistor and the Far East to + V. When the microcontroller pin is "1", then opt for LED lights. But unfortunately this scheme does not work for the construction of a sign matrix like this, because by using hundreds of LEDs need to have a microcontroller that has at least that number of output pins (and of course, does not exist).

Multiplexing

The secret, of course, is at the multiplex. This technique allows you to use a few pins I / S of the microcontroller to manage a variety of integrated circuits to be responsible for exciting the LEDs. There are several ways and many different models of rc helicopters   circuits to do this. You can use a type of digital integrated called "LATCH" is basically a memory in which write a value, and keeps its output until we indicate. Thus, using several LEDs turn latches could shift quickly to not notice the flicker, and thus form a word on the poster.

Another way is to use a shift register. And in fact, that is how we design our rc helicopters guideline poster. A shift register works the same way as does a line of people waiting to get into a cinema. On one end of the tail are recruiting people who come, and come out the other row. In a shift register, instead of people have "0" and "1". The good thing is that for "meter" data ("0" s and "1" s) in the shift register are required only three microcontroller pins, regardless of how long it is.
