The digital LED display can’t display all 26 letters of
the alphabet, but it’s possible to display many of
them. Let’s make an LED display that alternately
shows the initials E and P of our ELECTRONIC
PLAYGROUND. You can display other initials too.
You can thrill your sweetheart by displaying his/her
initials!
Slide the switch to position B and build the circuit.
When you complete the wiring, slide the switch to
position A to turn on the power, and you’ll see the
letters E and P lighting alternately on the LED
display.
IC 1 works as an astable multivibrator and displays
the letter E. IC 2 is used as an inverter, with an
output that is opposite to that of IC 1; it displays the
letter P.
Now that you’ve successfully displayed the letters E
and P, why not try displaying other letters? It should
be a cinch if you take a close look at the schematic.
