-====== Anchor Demonstration Board ====== 
- 
-==== Introduction ==== 
-Anchor Electronics sells a selection of new and surplus Demand Peripherals boards. 
-The project described on this page gives Anchor customers a quick, visual 
-introduction to the Demand Peripherals product line and and open-source peripherals. 
- 
- 
-==== Overview ==== 
-This page is organized as follows: 
-  * Peripheral and hardware selection 
-  * Physical construction and wiring notes 
-  * Linux configuration 
-  * Applications 
-    * distance 
-    * rgbled 
-    * demomotor 
- 
-==== Peripheral and Hardware Selection ==== 
-{{ ::anchordemo.jpg?200|}}Our goal was to give Anchor customers a simple demonstration of the capabilities of the Demand Peripherals software defined peripherals. There are three separate applications running on the demo system. 
- 
-The first  is an ultrasonic distance sensor whose reading are displayed on a 6 digit LCD.  The distance is shown in inches and tenths of an inch.  We use the us8 peripheral ([[http://exampldemandperipherals.com/peripherals/us8.htmle.com|us8]]) and card ([[https://demandperipherals.com/cards/us8.htmlh|us8]]).  The distance is shown in inches using the lcd6 peripheral ([[http://https://demandperipherals.com/peripherals/lcd6.html|lcd6]]) and the lcd6 card ([[http://https://demandperipherals.com/cards/lcd6.html|lcd6]]). The sensor is an Adafruit HC-SR04 ([[https://www.adafruit.com/product/3942|HC-SR04]]). 
- 
-The second application uses a quad slide potentiometer peripheral ([[https://demandperipherals.com/peripherals/slide4.html|slide4]]) and card ([[https://demandperipherals.com/cards/slider4.html|slider4]]) to control the red-green-blue brightness of a string of eight WS2812 LEDs from Adafruit ([[https://www.adafruit.com/product/1426|NeoPixel Stick]]). 
- 
-The third application uses a rotary encoder to control the speed and direction of a DC motor.  The RPM speed of the motor is displayed on a second 6 digit LCD.
