helo...

is.t possible to use only ist digit display on a 2 digit display 7 segment?

 

Yes, but please post the model number of the display.

 

i want 2 use kingbright-DA56-11EWA as a sigle digit display

 

To use the 1st digit, you can use pin 1,2,3,4,15,16,17,18 for the segments and pin 14 is the common anode pin. See the picture attached and it would explain itself.

hey
i tried that but nothing is happening. any idea please

 

can you show us your schematics or connections?

Allen

 

i do not have a 1 digit display hence im using a 2 digit.

Your circuit uses a common cathode LED while your 2 digit 7 seg LED is a common anode one. In order to use it in your circuit, you have to connect the common anode to +5V and all the segments a-g have to be inverted with either npn transistors, or a ULN2003A or 2x 4069 inverter gates.

I'd say it is easier to just buy a common cathode LED and forget about the mod. But if you insist to use the LED you have, I can draw up the schematic but it would take time.

Or you can wait and see what others here have to say about it....

Skip the dual digit display and install a single display of the proper configuration.

U R right thanx... lol i did'nt notice that.

 

thank u guyz u r saving me a stress..

 

hey Absf

please hook me up with that circuit so that i can still use my Led..

OK here's your circuit..

Thanx im working on it now.

You are a star... thank you so much, my circuit is working so perfect and im so going to sleep @ night.

 

Glad to hear that.... Allen
