Recently, we published an entry-level Arduino project with a single seven-segment LED display. Although it’s an amazing DIY project, we noted that most of the readers are looking for more advanced ...

This is a simple 0 to 9 counter circuit constructed using Arduino! Here, a common cathode 7-segment LED display is connected to Arduino for displaying the digits. The code (Arduino sketch) allows push ...

If you need a seven-segment display for a project, you could just grab some LED units off the shelf. Or you could build something big and electromechanical out of Lego. That’s precisely what ...

The solution to this problem was to use a shift register and control multiple segment displays with an 8 pin microcontroller. [volts] is using an ATtiny13 to control six seven segment displays.

By using these driver ICs, the complexity of wiring and control is significantly reduced. “I’ve built a digital clock made out of 144 seven-segment displays controlled by an Arduino Nano.

Seven-segment displays are needed in many instrument designs. In conventional microcontroller-based designs, four output port lines are allocated for one seven-segment display. Figure 1 shows the ...

Many options exist to drive seven-segment LED displays, but most are limited to low output currents. The approach described here uses one 74ALS374 or 74AS374 octal latch, wired as a shift register ...
