Re: 7 segment led displays
raybel
The most basic mode would be to drive each segment directly with a PIC pin.
Two seven segment LED displays would amount to 14 PIC pins if you have to them to spare.
If the LED's are small the current draw may be within the PIC's supply capabilities ie read the data sheet.
Also you will need a series resistor to drop the voltage for each segment.
Sinking or sourcing to drive them would depend on if the displays are common cathode or anode.
Their also are code tips which make configuration of the specific numbers to display a bit easier.

Re: 7 segment led displays
hi,
just have a look to :
C:\PBP3\EXAMPLES\General PBP folder of your computer ...
as simple as it : this is the example programs of your favourite compiler ...

BTW ... to help you a bit more ( if humainly possible ...) it's the FIRST example !
Re: 7 segment led displays
thanks guys I noticed I made a big bo bo I wrote that I was using a pic16f683 it should have read pic16f628 also I looked at everything but the examples. I went through the entire manual but never thought of looking at the examples thanks again at least I got a place to start
