How to Interface a Seven-Segment Display with an Arduino

How to Interface a Seven-Segment Display with an Arduino 4,749 4

Often, a more expensive liquid crystal display is not necessary for displaying data in most applications. A seven-segment display is simply sufficient.

Consider using a seven-segment display if your Arduino application solely needs to display numbers. This display has seven LEDs arranged into the number eight. They are both cost-effective and easy to use. The following picture shows a standard seven-segment display.

a standard seven-segment display

There are two types of seven-segment displays: common anode and common cathode. The Internal structure of each of these types is nearly the identical. However, the polarity of the LEDs and common terminal are different. In most standard cathode seven-segment displays (the one we used in the experiments), all seven LEDs, in addition to a dot LED, have the cathodes connected to pins 8 and pin 3. To use this display, we must connect GROUND to pin 3 and pin 8, then connect +5V to the other pins and make each of the individual segments light up. The diagram below shows the internal structure of the common cathode seven-segment display:

internal structure of common cathode display

In contrast, the common anode display is the opposite. In a common anode display, the positive terminal of the eight-shaped LEDs are connected together. They are then connected to pin 3 and pin 8. To turn on an individual segment, one of the pins is grounded. The diagram below shows the internal structure of the common anode seven-segment display.

internal structure of the common anode display

The dot is labeled “dp”, while the the seven segments are labelled a-g, as shown in the figure below:

SSD Configuration

You turn on the individual segments to display a particular number, as seen in the following table:

individual segments to display a particular number

Experiment 1

In this experiment, we will turn LEDs on and off in order to become familiar with how a seven-segment display functions.

Hardware Required

1 x seven-segment display (common cathode)
1 x Arduino MEGA 2560
1 x breadboard
jumper wires

Wiring Diagram

In this circuit, the pins of seven-segment display connect to Arduino pins 2-9, as shown in the following table. Pins 8 and 3, the common pins, connect to GND; however, dp is left without a connection. For this experiment, it is not needed.

pins of display are connected to Arduino pins 2-9

Wiring Diagram

Copy Codevoid setup() { // define pin modes pinMode(2,OUTPUT); pinMode(3,OUTPUT); pinMode(4,OUTPUT); pinMode(5,OUTPUT); pinMode(6,OUTPUT); pinMode(7,OUTPUT); pinMode(8,OUTPUT); } void loop() { // loop to turn leds od seven seg ON for(int i=2;i<9;i++) { digitalWrite(i,HIGH); delay(600); } // loop to turn leds od seven seg OFF for(int i=2;i<9;i++) { digitalWrite(i,LOW); delay(600); } delay(1000); }

Experiment 2

Description

In this experiment, we will interface a seven-segment display with Arduino mega. We will learn to display a countdown from nine, with a one-second delay, on the seven-segment display.

Hardware Required

Experiment 1 has the same hardware required as this experiment.

Wiring Diagram

The circuit for Experiment 1 has the same writing diagram as this experiment.

Copy Code// make an array to save Sev Seg pin configuration of numbers int num_array[10][7] = { { 1,1,1,1,1,1,0 }, // 0 { 0,1,1,0,0,0,0 }, // 1 { 1,1,0,1,1,0,1 }, // 2 { 1,1,1,1,0,0,1 }, // 3 { 0,1,1,0,0,1,1 }, // 4 { 1,0,1,1,0,1,1 }, // 5 { 1,0,1,1,1,1,1 }, // 6 { 1,1,1,0,0,0,0 }, // 7 { 1,1,1,1,1,1,1 }, // 8 { 1,1,1,0,0,1,1 }}; // 9 //function header void Num_Write(int); void setup() { // set pin modes pinMode(2, OUTPUT); pinMode(3, OUTPUT); pinMode(4, OUTPUT); pinMode(5, OUTPUT); pinMode(6, OUTPUT); pinMode(7, OUTPUT); pinMode(8, OUTPUT); } void loop() { //counter loop for (int counter = 10; counter > 0; --counter) { delay(1000); Num_Write(counter-1); } delay(3000); } // this functions writes values to the sev seg pins void Num_Write(int number) { int pin= 2; for (int j=0; j < 7; j++) { digitalWrite(pin, num_array[number][j]); pin++; } }
