Project 18: 4-digit LED segment display
Introduction
In this experiment, we use an Arduino to drive a common anode, 4-digit, 7-segment LED display. For
LED display, current-limiting resistors are indispensable. There are two wiring method
for Current-limiting resistor. One is to connect one resistor for each anode, 4 in totals for d1-d4 anode.
An advantage for this method is that it requires fewer resistors, only 4. But it cannot maintain
consistent brightness, 1 the brightest, 8, the least bright. Another method is to connect one resistor to
each pin. It guarantees consistent brightness, but requires more resistors. In this experiment, we use 8
220Ω resistors (we use 220Ω resistors because no 100Ω resistor available. If you use 100Ω, the
displaying will be brighter).
Connection
For 4-digit displays, there are 12 pins in total. When you place the decimal point downward (see
below photo position), the pin on the lower left part is refer to as 1, the upper left part 12.
