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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
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.
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 ...
