We love it when something common gets put to a new and unusual use, especially when it’s one of those, “Why didn’t I think of that?” situations. This digital clock with a suspended display is just ...

Get ready to witness something mind-blowing! A mechanical 7-segment display powered by a keyboard brings a whole new level of innovation to the table. Curious how a regular keyboard can work with a ...

Check out how to create a unique Mechanical 7 Segment Display using cardboard! In this video, we unveil a one-of-a-kind mechanism that we've invented, featuring 7 circles each with its own trigger.

Many options exist to drive seven-segment LED displays, but most are limited to low output currents. The approach described here uses one 74ALS374 or 74AS374 octal latch, wired as a shift register, ...

In a previous article, we explored the behavior of an LED diode as a small light source. We have seen how important a protection resistor is to light up this component. In this article, we will ...
