A 4-bit Binary to Grey Code Convertor is a digital electronics device. It is used for conversion of n- bit Binary Code into Grey Code. A sophisticated version is that which shows the code conversion with the help of LEDs which glows. Apart from this, a small modification has been done thereby eliminating redundancy of changing wires'(potential 0 & 1 ) manually . The motive behind this project is to bring improvement, and efficiency, and create an impact by tackling existing problems.

Description

The Binary 2 Grey Code Convertor - modified version for youth.

This is a digital electronics project. We often play with 0 and 1 in digital electronics and I have developed an interesting device.

It is a 4 bit Binary to Grey Code Convertor. Unlike, other digital electronics devices which rely on manually shifting of wires , this unique yet creative model/device is Unprecedented one.

In the above pic as you can see that on left side of the divider there is Binary Codes while on the other half there is corresponding Grey codes.

With this device we are not just confined to theories anymore but our approach is to understand it Practically.

Digital Electronics Teachers/professors must have gone through this tedious topic.They can now teach digital electronics to students with the help of a Sophisticated Device like this. Visuals are always better than written theory with no Practical approach.

Such devices often help engineering students to understand the fundamentals of digital electronics. Innumerable Code Convertors of different kinds can be made like this one.

Two things in Digital Electronics are indispensable:
