Hello,
RE: Temperature Displayed on 4 Digit 7 segment (common anode) - Exhibition / Gallery - Arduino Forum
i don't understand the connection with the 7 segment displays
you mentioned : " Basically the pin 11 connects to the QA, the pin 7 to the QB and so one…"
But pin 11 is going to the 74hc595.
Can you explain?
thanks
It depends... you have to see the datasheet of your 7seg. and connect all in parallel.... u can use the "CD4511" to drive your display... i've done a lot of project with this chip and multiplexed 7seg.
But pin 11 is declared as a clockpin for the 74HC 595 on the arduino ?
Then how can this pin be connected to the 7 segment display?
I prefer a schematic than a fritzing layout
Pin 11 is the pin number of the display module,not of the Arduino.
Suddenly it makes perfect sense, doesn't it ?
now i get it 
thanks
