7seg Displays - common cathode
Posted: Wed Apr 15, 2020 7:57 pm
When controlling common cathode 7seg displays with a microcontroller, each cathode is normally connected to a collector of an NPN transistor.
For the 7seg to be enabled the O/P pin has to go high, as transistor inverts the signal.
Currently the outputs to common are only low to enable the 7ssg.
Is it possible to have a choice for the common output to be either high or low?
