RobG 1,892 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I got few very nice 16 segment bi-color LED displays from ERC electronics and here's my first stab at controlling them. Additional parts are 74hc595 (2) and TPIC6C595. Displays in the movie appear dim because pretty large current limiting resistors are used, they are very bright when used with the right resistors. Displays are bi-color, so you can get red, green , and any color in between (yellow.) bluehash, zeke and jsolarski 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

donc786 0 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Which MCU did you use for this? I'm trying to figure out the best way to control a 4 character 7 segment LED. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
