  • TheGodOfCodll All the grounds are connected( refer to datasheet to figure out which pin that is). And then power to each segment again depending on what you want displayed.... Hope this helps

  • @the god of codll there's two types of seven segment displays. Common anode and common cathode. in a common anode all of the anodes( positive) leads of the LEDS are connected together so all you need to do is provide power to one single pin( refer to datasheet to determine which pin that is) and then a ground to each segment depending on what you want it to display. It's the opposite in a common cathode (negative). You must provide a ground which again will be one single pin because all the g

  • please help. my 7 segment display is reverse i hook up power to one pin and wherever i hook up ground that segment lights how do i control this with lets say a microcontroller is this a certain kind of 7 segment display  Thanks

  • why the resistor?

  • @happyapple7

    dude, it's just the switch on some of those dual double-A batt. holders

    ther's no power supply

  • That's a good way to test if the lights turn on. What's with the power supply?. a LM7805 perhaps?

  • No shit sherlock! how fukin hard is that!

  • thanx man

    but your video so short!
