For the simplest of builds, 7-segment display modules usually get dug up from the parts bin. If you have a bunch of “smart” LED’s (WS2812’s, APA102’s), then building your own custom 7 ...

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 ...

We’re used to seeing all manner of seven-segment displays, be they mechanical, electronic, ... The sensors are connected to an Arduino Nano via a 74HC165 parallel-load 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.

One more suggestion: if we use an Arduino PWM pin as the common anode pin, we can power on/off the display and change its brightness. What if using Common Cathode Display. If we put in the sockets ...

Building a Mechanical 7 Segment Display Using a Keyboard – Here’s How. Posted: June 9, 2025 | Last updated: June 9, 2025. Get ready to witness something mind-blowing!

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 ...
