I am not a student. I took a basic electronics class in high school (about 14 years ago). I put down electronics about 8 years ago. Now I am starting to get back into it.
I've been reading quite a few threads here and learning that I am not as much a total noob as I though I may have been. With that said.
The topics of building a 24 clock struck my fancy to see if I could do it; and I did, it works great (in binary). Now I am ready to do the display, the display will consist of Hours, Minutes, and Seconds, constructed out of about 200 LEDs. For simplicity the attached schematic shows 7 segment displays.
The question is...
Is the way I have everything wired going to work (in theory anyways) to "Multiplex" the digits.
I have read through a couple datasheets of multiplexers and can not seem to rap my head around it, so that is why I went the route I did.
I left out the working clock portion since it works just fine needing no modifications.
Thank you in advance for any input.
Also, with the final clock everything below the red line in the attachment will be operating on 5Vdc with a battery back up and everything above will be either 10 or 12Vdc (haven't carver that in stone yet).
