We’ve been displaying numbers using segmented displays for almost 120 years now, an invention that predates the LEDs that usually power the ubiquitous devices by a half-dozen decades or so. But LEDs ...

If you look around your desk right now, odds are you’ll see a 7-segment display or two showing you some vital information like the time or today’s weather. But think of how much information you could ...

A common display found on digital watches and readouts that looks like a series of 8s. Each digit is formed by selective illumination of from one to seven separately addressable segments. For more ...

The single-digit seven-segment BD Series LED displays are available in a range of six different digit heights from 0.276 (7 mm) to 1.0 in. (25.4 mm) in 24 different styles and models. Common anode or ...

In a previous article, we explored the behavior of an LED diode as a small light source. We have seen how important a protection resistor is to light up this component. In this article, we will ...

The digital desk clock project was created for displaying the time and date on ten 7-segment displays. The project was built based on some requirements like the use of 7-segment displays, ...

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, ...

Reddit user Krukerfluk has created an awesome DIY digital clock using 144 x seven segment displays, combining them to create a larger LED display powered by an Arduino Nano. The small Arduino ...
