Need Help : 7 segment LED displays and PIC
Posted: Tue Feb 07, 2017 7:20 pm
Hi,
I am a hobbyist and a newbie in graphical microcontroller programming. I discovered Flowcode lately, which has I think the most user friendly and easy to understand graphical user interface.
While exploring Flowcode I came across with a hurdle, actually I am trying to build a simple 2-digit counter and for that I am using PIC16F877A mcu. I agree that it has many input/output pins but I wont be working with the same MCU every time and hence don't want to spare 18 input/output pins just for driving two 7 seg LED displays.
I came to know about a technique called multiplexing but not sure if it could be implemented with Flowcode. If yes then kindly show how it could be done. I am attaching the piece of software I made so that it may be modified accordingly.
