Seven segment display
Show me something!
What are we going to do?
In this activity you'll learn how to show something on a seven segment display. In order to make it easier to use the display, we'll use a library.
Let's get started
Follow these instructions carefully. You can click on some of the images to zoom in.
Always connect the components BEFORE powering the UNO board or YOU MAY DAMAGE YOUR BOARD OR COMPONENTS.
IMPORTANT: if you have a one digit display (without PCB), follow these instructions instead.
Now, what else?
Now is your turn:
- Do you think you can show something else? Maybe a countdown? or a personalized sentence?
- At this point, I want to propose a challenge. Get the temperature sensor from previous activity (DHT11 sensor)
and try showing the temperature or humidity on the display.
