Here is the problem for my coursework. Im not asking for anyone to do it just for a little help if that's possible.

Design a circuit to take binary inputs and display a number on the counter. The counter needs to display the number 1 followed by 7 to indicate the current year the coursework was done (i.e. 2017). Then this will be followed by your unique student ID number (person number). This will mean that everybody will have a unique problem to solve as no two students have the same student number. So if your student number was 123456 then your counter would need to display 17123456.

We have to create this circuit in Digital Works 95 and the counter has to automatically switch between each number in my student ID automatically. I have created my truth table, my equations and I have even designed the circuit which I thought was right but it does not switch between the numbers it only shows the first one. We use sequencers at the begging of the circuit and I can change the input on them and it occasionally shows more numbers but Im just not sure what the sequencers have to be set to. If anybody could help me I would appreciate it a lot. I can also upload screenshots if needed.

 

It's a bit hard to comment on any issues that your design might have when you have presented exactly zero percent of your design.

How are you going to store the digits that you want to display on the display?

What ICs are you allowed to use for this assignment?

Post your truth table, schematic, and a description of what is/isn't working.

Digital Works 95 should have a Logic History tool that will display waveforms for the devices you add to the logic history. You can use it to troubleshoot problems with your sequencers.

 

How are you going to store the digits that you want to display on the display?

The simulator being used has an input device called a Sequence Generator that can be used to input a repeating data sequence.

 

This is a classic exercise in finite state machine design in an introductory course on digital electronics. I have covered this in previous threads.

Before you get into the FSM design, you need to consider the following two situations:

1) how to deal with the situation when a numeral repeats
2) how to deal with the situation when a numeral repeats in succession.

 

Before you get into the FSM design, you need to consider the following two situations:

This problem is simpler. They use a feature in the simulator called a Sequence Generator that generates the input to a decoder that drives a seven segment display.

Having duplicates/repeats in any order are not an issue.

MrRyanPotter,

I think mr WBahn meant to say was, “yes, please upload the screen shots. Then we will be able to help you.”
