![]() Lets identify the pinout and circuit diagram of the display. Final result would be displaying 0-9 on the display. We are going to interface a seven segment display with single digit/character to arduino uno. Interfacing single digit seven segment display to Arduino As mentioned above, we are using two types of seven segment displays in this tutorial -1) the single digit 7 segment display 2) the 4 digit 7 segment display and they both will be interfaced with arduino in two different ways. This seven segment display has a total of 8 LEDs per digit as shown in above image, seven LED’s for each segment and one for the decimal point. You can identify the segments of the display with the help of following figure. We are going to use Arduino uno and a basic seven segment display with decimal point. It is recommended study following areas of arduino prior to this article: We begin this tutorial by interfacing a single digit (1 digit/character) 7 segment LED display to Arduino.Once we learn the single digit 7 segment display interfacing to arduino and its code/program, we move on to interface 4 digit seven segment display with arduino using shift register. ![]() A single digit/character 7 segment display unit is available at 1/10th of the cost of a 16×2 LCD module. Well, 7 segment displays are the cheapest option when it comes to display devices available in market. You might think why 7 segment display still exist in market. For example:- a 16×2 LCD – which can display almost all ASCII characters. Its quiet easy to interface Arduino and 7 Segment display together! Lets begin the tutorial.Ī 7 segment display has many limitations, especially in the range of characters it can display.There are displays in market which are much more advanced than seven segment displays and can display almost every character in the alphabet. More digits are displayed by multiplexing single unit 7 segment displays together to form 2 digit display, 3 digit display or 4 digit 7 segment display. Basically a 7 segment display is a single unit, which can display only 1 digit or 1 character. 7 segment displays are of different types especially they differ in the number of digits/character it can display. ![]() Basic 1 digit seven segment display can show numbers from 0-9 and a few characters. In this article, we are publishing a tutorial on how to interface seven segment LED display to Arduino. Seven segment displays are used in many embedded system and industrial applications where the range of outputs to be shown is known beforehand.
