We’re used to seeing all manner of seven-segment displays, be they mechanical, electronic, or something in between. But what all these displays have in common is that they’re, you know, displays.

If we set things up correctly, we could create a string of these displays daisy-chained together, and drive the entire string using only a single pin from our main MCU. If we set things up correctly, ...

Seven-segment displays have been around for a long time, and there is a seemingly endless number of ways to build them. The latest of is a mechanical seven-segment from a master of 3D printed ...

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, ...

The latest Magellan family of motion-control ICs offer 7-segment s-curve profile generation capabilities and are available in 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-axis versions. Compared to 3-segment trapezoidal ...

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 ...
