[Peter Lehnér] has designed a brilliant 7-segment flip-segment display that doesn’t really flip. In fact, it doesn’t use electromagnets at all. This one is 3D printed and hand cranked. It’s a clever ...

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 ...

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 ...

The digital desk clock project was created for displaying the time and date on ten 7-segment displays. The project was built based on some requirements like the use of 7-segment displays, ...

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, ...
