Circuits and Code

Multiplexed Matrix

The example in this post shows how multiplexers can be used to increase the number of I/O pins for sensor readings or outputs. A multiplexer chip uses control pins to toggle between multiple channels (3 control pins –> 8 channels, 4 control pins –> 16channels).
