, good afternoon.
I need some help please or ideas.
The code below Works well for 1 7 segment display. I press the number in the key pad and the number is shown without problem.
I am adding a second 7 segment display, and the idea is to control both (multiplexing port C) with 2 transistors (see below)
I have not implemented yet the circuit since I want to have a clear idea how the software should work for the multiplexing and graving the right binary patern to light each display.
In general the code for displaying just one digit, works scanning the keypad, then looking in a table the patern of the leds in the display that need to be turned on.
I dont have a problem to turn on the right transistor, for each display in a secuence, for example if we want to display number 17.
My problem is that W (accumulator) is all the time with a value (even if the key pad was not pushed).
for example, if I want to write the number 17
I think that ideally I would like to pass this number to 2 registers, one for 1 and one for 7.
and from there I could créate a loop with the transistors (on or off according to what display wants to be shown) for showing the information of port C either with the value for 1 or for 7.
The problem is that I have all the time W with a value that repeats on time (since it is a loop), since for example I press 1, the value is shown in the display, but after I reléase the button, the value in W still there, so I dont know how to diferentiate when a real new value is coming, to put it in the other display and turn the right transistor.
If you have a better way how to display a 2 digit number using one port and 2 transistors I would apreciate if you can help me.

The following code is made for just one 7 segment display (for 2 x7 segment display should be modified)
