How To Drive A 7-segment Display - The Learning Circuit

[@SYLXM]

I'm taking a lab for a class I haven't taken in two years and this was a great review of all the concepts needed to understand this project. Fantastic job!

[@mircoblitz6780]

Not all of my electroniks skills are lectured by Karen, but now I understand al lot more. This is an awesome learning experience.

[@jeetenderkakkar7570]

Not all

[@burhanuddinbhiwaniwala618]

U know mam electronics simply goes above my head... But still your videos are so simple and understanding that I never ever have skipped your video...😊😊😊

[@donaldklopper]

Perfect video for my needs to learn to create 7 segment visuals using arduino etc. Thanks.

[@adminwintrec2768]

Clear & to the point presentation. Can be recommended for academic

[@vihaandixit6965]

Very well explained and exactly what I needed 👏😊

[@raimondsandze2239]

Nice video. I would like to see more in depth videos related to 7segment displays, like for example when would you choose Common Anode and when Common Cathode?

[@shvideo1]

Excellent video, very well explained. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@GurinderSingh]

How can I use 7 segment ds for my four relay rf switch 433 module if I press 1 relay I see 1 on segment display then 2 ……

[@joescartino2216]

Please let me/know the name of that vise and where it can be purchased. Thanks in advance..

[@charlesbrown980]

Built the circuit and it works perfectly, nothing like " hands on " to reinforce the learning process.

[@maker_karen1785]

That's awesome!

[@gsdtdeaux7]

Im wanting to make this but instead of the individual switches i want to use a 5 position switch and the display to read 1-5. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for this video

[@rohanverma6058]

Great work Karren, thanks for the help.

[@knifeninja200000]

Ive tried making this chip in a simulator with minimal experience in the field and after seeing what the diagram looks like I'm not surprised at how bad I failed.

[@masoudjvn355]

Wouldn't it be better to use resistors in the positive route?

[@jeopardy60611]

I searched this out because I was curious as to how a numerical display works. This explains it well. I suppose that if you added logic to the decoder, you could make it a hex display that would output the hex digits A-F, since we have 4 bits available that can count that high. Also, by adding additional LED segments and more input bits, you can do a display that does letters like a Speak & Spell.

[@joeljuarez3789]

how would you hook it up to output certain minterms?

[@3dkenn]

If it's a common anode 7 segment display, to light a segment would require a '0' to its cathode. Is the invert done in the 74LS47 BCD decoder?

[@yafetabera3106]

Please can you tell me the difference between SN74LS47P and SN74LS47N. Because the one I found says SN74LS47P in its package.

[@scientifiko4246]

Very well explained. Do you have a video on 7448?

[@arewasmartlightdecorations6029]

Hello I want help! i make my own counter it works but I want to set with Reed switch but it's count over what is problem?

[@jonathangainsford6811]

I like these videos a lot I am new to this but can thus not be done with a shift register, with less pins and putting them in serial you can add more segments

[@Sickindian5]

How can you make dot/decimal point disappear on two number display?

[@sciencespectrum3855]

Amazing explanation 👏👏👏🎉🎉

[@onurolce]

day by day you became more impressive Karen :)

[@fullbridgerecrifier]

3:11 name of the software?

[@Creedarn]

Sooo. i bought a leddisplay with 3 digits.. i have 18 pins/ 9 pins on one side. and it says it is "without common pin" what is that?

[@iqbalmd6603]

Hi there, I have a weight scale with 4 digit 7 segment display. I wish to send the weight to my arduino. Please help me.

[@renantejosesiguiente1442]

Wow, a lady like u is cool learning about electronics

[@vlogisehat3188]

74LS47 is not perfect solution because the six character "6" become "b".... and "9" become "q", maybe do you have another IC that have a perfect character ? Because i have a problem with it..and need another one..

[@kahnfatman]

Thank you! You've got a new sub!

How can i use common anode sevaen segments display with cd4026be ic

[@dps9988]

is that a Heathkit oscilloscope in the background?

[@DMES-wp2fj]

is there another IC that we can use?

[@jeremyjohansson3445]

Thank you, exactly what i needed!

[@nikjberry]

That's a dope board vise... Where can I get one?

[@Davidjacobson2795]

How much more complicated would the setup be if instead of combining the switches to display larger numbers(i.e. switches 4, 2, and 1 to make 7), 6 switches were used to display numbers 1-6. Each switch would then have a specific number and wouldn't be used in combinations. I'm playing around with a 7 segment display and considering getting an Arduino if necessary. I've seen lots of projects used buttons to count up or down, but rarely can i find a project that uses individual buttons to display individual digits.

[@Incommensurabilities]

Not an expert, though I figure you could wire up each switch to pull high the specific BCD pins, so there would be wires running everywhere

[@julian4035]

why you dont use one resister on the common anode?

[@jhunbanerjee3175]

Thanks Karen, it's hard to find actually helpful information from loads of other bullshit in here... Great video and thanks for it.

[@jeetenderkakkar7570]

Thanks

[@aasandi]

My 74LS47N is is outputting the correct truth table. if all my inputs are low, 0000, I should get a 0 on the display, but I'm getting a 4. I tried two other 74LS47 and they are doing the same thing. To double check, I used a voltmeter to check the Vout on each ping of the IC (abcdefg) and I'm getting HLLHHLL (abcdefg), which is a 4. Am I using the wrong IC or are they defective?

[@LegoCreationsbyDagupa]

Are you sure all your inputs are low? In this schematic all input pins are floating, which usually causes unpredictable behavior. Something similar happened to me. Remove the connection from the switches and LEDs to the four inputs. Put 1K resistors from each input pin to ground, now you have four stable low inputs that should display “0”. If this works, floating inputs is your problem.

[@maker_karen1785]

I started using Fritzing, but it didn't give me a perfect aerial view of each part. I started making my own parts in Illustrator and use them for planning out spacing on perfboard now.

[@willi4242]

[@onurolce]

Not exactly what you want but maybe it gives an idea.

[@mdzarifnoor3101]

can you give me diagram please

[@urugulu1656]

using sil-resistor packages would be so much simpler...

[@maker_karen1785]

True. But if you learn how to do it with individual resistors, it's easy to switch to a SIL. Plus more people tend to have a collection of individual resistors lying around rather than a large variety of values in SIL packaging, so I went with the more accessible method.

Isn't that a 8 segment display? I remember that the point on the bottom was counted too.

[@clusternate]

@@kennmossman8701 OK, but COULD you adress it to do something?

[@clusternate]

@@kennmossman8701 OK let's fight. A decimal is in my book not trivial at all. IF you can adress the decimal point, than that's a segment for me. Hence my confusion. I would call a display with 7 stripes and 1 point a 8 segment display. At least thats what I learned in my studies. Did I win?

[@clusternate]

@@kennmossman8701 english is not my first so pls stay nice.

[@clusternate]

@@kennmossman8701 no, but I would count the thumb. Which is technically not a finger.

[@TomStorey96]

When you say you shouldn't leave pins floating, I don't think it'll matter for an LED display... It's a bigger issue for CMOS where a floating pin could sit in the nonlinear region where it may not really be high or low, this can cause higher power consumption, generate more heat, and produce unpredictable/undesirable results or behaviour.

[@Yotanido]

In this particular case, we actually want the pins high, since they are low-active, so they definitely need to be connected. But even if they were high-active, leaving them unconnected is a bad idea. Stray capacitance could induce a voltage on the pins which can be read as a high signal by the chip. I've had it happen before when I left a pin floating. Unless a pin is labelled NC, I think you should always have it connected to something. If nothing else, it is good practice.

[@TomStorey96]

@@Yotanido I know. I'm taking about the 7 segment display, not the driver chip. She said she would connect the dot point pin of the display because you shouldn't leave pins floating...

[@Yotanido]

@@TomStorey96 Fair enough, it doesn't make a difference there. But keep in mind that not all viewers will be able to tell the difference. Teaching them to always connect all pins is a good idea in my opinion.

[@TomStorey96]

@@Yotanido you would be better off teaching them those particular reasons in my opinion. It's all well and good to say "connect all of the pins to something", but maybe e14 viewers are the kind that could really benefit from knowing the reasons why, and the cases when it matters the most.
