For my project, I need to use two or more 7 segment displays.
I am using an Atmega16L microcontroller.
Is it possible to combine two 7 segment displays so that those use only one port i.e 8 pins and no more ?
I am using C programming and AVRStudio.
So please mention how to write the program which will display the numbers.
If I connected the displays separately to each port, just by making the different segments glow, I can display the numbers. But if I combine them, how to display the numbers?
P.S: I am a total newbie to microcontroller electronics and it would help if you thought of me as a layman and gave your reply accordingly.
So please try to avoid jargon.
