Interface 7 Segment 4x1 with PIC controller using PIC controller

Interface 7 Segment 4x1 with PIC controller using PIC controller

7 Segment display use to display the values in form of digits. So it’s important to learn 7 segment and how to drive single 7 segment using different controllers and that code programs in different compilers. The basic Concept remain same. So here we are going to drive 4 digit 7 segment using PICcontroller and compile it working code in MikroC pro for PIC.

After coding compilation its important to test it on circuit so we use Proteus 8.15 for simulation.

For types of 7 segments see this topic:7 Segment Interfacewith PIC Microcontroller as Up Counter

4 digit 7 segment in Proteus:

PINOUT of 4 digit 7 segment:

Example to Display the 4 digits value:

1234 is value for example:

4 is at unit position

3 is at 10^th position

2 is at 100^th position and

1 is at 1000^th position

When we will display 4 then we select unit digit by using pin DG1 and send the data of 4 (in form of binary which drive the 7 segment)

See this table:

Digit	Dp	G	F	E	D	C	B	A	Hex
0	0	0	1	1	1	1	1	1	0x3F
1	0	0	0	0	0	1	1	0	0x06
2	0	1	0	1	1	0	1	1	0x5B
3	0	1	0	0	1	1	1	1	0x4F
4	0	1	1	0	0	1	1	0	0x66
5	0	1	1	0	1	1	0	1	0x6D
6	0	1	1	1	1	1	0	1	0x7D
7	0	0	0	0	0	1	1	1	0x07
8	0	1	1	1	1	1	1	1	0x7F
9	0	1	1	0	1	1	1	1	0x6F

 

And we are using decoder 74LS138 Mux IC to select the 7 segment digits and saving the pins of controller. We are using Just for 4 output control red blocked area of the table.

When we will display 3 then we select 10^th digit by using pin DG2 and send the data of 3.

When we will display 2 then we select 100^th digit by using pin DG3 and send the data of 2.

When we will display 1 then we select 1000^th digit by using pin DG4 and send the data of 1.
