2.3.
7 Segment
The 7 segment display
is found in many displays such as microwaves or fancy toaster ovens
and occasionally in non cooking devices. It is just 7 LEDs that have
been combined into one case to make a convenient device for displaying
numbers and some letters. The display is shown on the left. The pinout
of the display is on the right.

2.3. 7 Segmen
2.3.1. Writing a character to single 7 Segmen
This version is a common anode version.
That means that the positive leg of each LED is connected to a common
point. Each LED has a negative leg that is connected to one of the pins
of the device. To make it work you need to connect pin common to 5 volts
trough driver transistor. Then to make each segment light up, connect
the ground pin for that led to ground. A resistor is required to limit
the current. Rather than using a resistor from each LED to ground, you
can just use one resistor from Vcc to pin 3 to limit the current.

common anoda
Step
1st
Build the circuit as shown in figure 2.3.1. As you seen on figure 2.3.1.
P2.0 is connected to driver transistor, and each pin of 7 segmen is
connected to P0.0 trough P0.6. Remember, that all we want to do with
this lesson is write a number 1 to 7 segmen.
Step
2nd
In this step, you must tipe the assembly program to make your 7 segmen
shown a number on 7 segmen, we assume that you have already known the
editor, we used MIDE-51 to edit the program.
org 0h
start: mov P2,#11111001b; send high logic to a and b segmen
clr P0.0 ; send current to 7 segment
sjmp start ; jump forever
end
Step
3rd
Safe your assembly program above, and name it with 7seg1.asm (for example)
Compile the program that you have been save by using MIDE-51, see the
software instruction.
Step 4th
Download your hex file ( 7seg1.hex ) into the microcontroller
by using Microcontroller ATMEL ISP software, see the instruction.After
download this hex file you'll see the action of the 7 segmen( of course
if your cable connection and your program are corrected ).
