Part 7. 7-segment Display Indicator Using MCC | Embedded C Programming

In our previous tutorial, we learned about dynamic multi-character 7-segment displays that allow you to use a relatively few amount of GPIOs to control a large amount of characters. This time, we'll do the same thing but we'll be using Microchip's Code Configurator (MCC). We go through the concept of how dynamic 7-segment displays work again and then use MCC and some custom code to show how to use them in practice. With this series using the PIC18F14K50 as an example, we hope you enjoy learning more about microcontrollers and embedded systems!

I like the tlc5917 for this. You get a constant current, and can use just 3 pins to shift in all the data into a register. Add 3 pins for the common anode and 6 pins do the job! No resistors req’d for the leds, either.

Can we use 16F690 instead of 18F14K50 ?

Please do a video about SR latch please, there aren’t any well animated videos about it,

Thanks!!
