- Clock: 0 Hz
How it works
A current comparator that compares 2 currents each formed by a sum of 8 digital pins.
How to test
Set the 8 inputs to form current A and 8 bi-directional inputs to form current B. The ouptut analog voltage is the result of the comparison operator (sigmoid).
External hardware
A multimeter to measure the output voltage on analog pin 0.
