The project shows how a 7-segment LED can be interfaced and used in a PIC microcontroller project. 7-segment displays are used frequently in electronic circuits to show numeric or alphanumeric values.
The project started off with some $4 strings of LED Christmas lights. He promptly disassembled the strands, each yielding 100 LEDs. The microcontroller he chose to work with is a PIC 12F629.
Before we proceed to the chapter on PIC applications and projects, we shall be looking at how we can program the PIC microcontrollers using these languages. Table 14.1: Comparison of PicBasic and ...
