7 SEGMENT LED ASSIGNMENT
So for the Advanced Microcontroller class we had to build a seven segment LED and program the PIC (in this case PIC 16F819) so that it would count from 0 to 9. It was a great excercise for me to get my hands on the PIC programmers and PicBasicPro since my only experience other than the Arduino was with BASIC and BasicStamp2.
This is the total image.
This is the PIC originally wired on a board ready to receive IR.
This is the 7-segment LED (from RadioShack because the one given out in class had a little, burning accident!!!)
This is the changing 7 Segment, yes, very exciting!
Now i am thinking about taking this a few steps further and maybe getting my hands on some GPS technology to make a wall clock similar to the one at the Sparkfun office (http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/present.php?p=GPSClock-1).
We'll see!!!
