[Esai] wanted to build an electronic clock from scratch. A noble quest, but ordinary seven-segment displays are just that – incredibly ordinary. Instead of a few displays that can be bought from the ...

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 ...

[David Johnson-Davies] has a lofty goal of building a small device to give to younger hackers on a semi-yearly basis. So this last year, he designed and created The Number Maze Game, a small handheld ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

Poised for communications, industrial, and consumer applications, the company offers a full array of single- and dual-digit seven-segment, surface-mount displays for use where height is constrained.

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 ...

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 ...
