8 x 7 Segmen Multiplexing

Writing multi character on 8 x 7 segmen

In this lesson, we are going to drive more 7 segmen, in this way you can write eight character or number on multi 7 segmen. We used a multiplexing methode to transfer data for driver transistor consequtively.

Step 1st
Build the circuit as shown in figure 2.3.5. As you seen on figure 2.3.5. P2.0 trough P2.7 is connected to driver transistor, and all eight 7 segment is connected to P0.0 trough P0.6 parallelly. Remember, that all we want to do with this lesson is write multi number ( 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 ) to 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th 7 segmen each.

Step 2nd
In this step, you must tipe the assembly program to make your 7 segmen shown some number on 7 segmen, we assume that you have already known the editor, we used RIDE-51 to edit the program.Below the schematic of 8 seven segmen multiplexing.

Step 3rd
Safe your assembly program above, and name it with 7seg3.asm (for example) Compile the program that you have been save by using RIDE-51, see the software instruction.

Step 4th
Download your hex file ( 7seg3.hex ) into the microcontroller by using Microcontroller Laros ATMEL ISP software, see the instruction.After download this hex file you'll see the action of the 7 segmen( of course if your cable connection and your program are corrected ).
