How to display dot on 7-seg , 4 digit

[paul borgmeier]

ok it's not 4am (it's 8:15am)

i see what the dcd command is doing (common anode as you noted).

For the digit you want to have the dp on try

Sements.7 = 0 (provided your PORT.7 pin is tied to the DP via wire or trace


Good Luck

[paul borgmeier]

One more time - after a proper days rest, I have no clue what your code does; it looks to me to be partly written for common anode displays ($3F=1) and partly written for common cathode displays (Digits = ~DCD i). The Segments.7=0 should work (right after your lookup table) for the digit you want the DP to be on. Please post full code or schematic for more definite help.
Again, Good Luck

Hi paul borgmeier
Now I try to show temp with DS1820 on 7 seg 4 digit

I see - the PNPs (which I did not know about) threw me off. It appears proper for Common Anode.

Try this:
1) On your buffer, tie 1 and 19 low so they do not float.
2) The 3rd from last line of your code - change "Return" to "Resume" (See manual section on On Interrupt for details).

Please report back progress so that others following this can get closure.

EDIT:
3) Your lookup values need to be inverted - as written they are for common cathode displays. Change to ($C0, $F9, $A4, etc) where the segments you want off are high and the segments you want on are low.
4) To turn on the decimal point on the second digit, insert right after the lookup table
if i = 1 then Segments.7 = 0 (or if the DP is always to be on you could do this in hardware by disconnecting RC7 from D7 on U2 and connecting RD1 to D7 on U2 (in addition to RD1 going to the Base of Q2))

[sayzer]

Here is the full list of Common Cathode:

Starting from 0 to 9.

$c0, $F9, $A4, $B0, $99, $92, $82, $F8, $80, $90



------------------------------

[paul borgmeier]

Sayzer,
You bolded Common Cathode as if it is for sure - you must mean Common Anode. Common Cathode requires the segment to be high to be on while Common Anode requires Segments to be low to be on. His buffer is non-inverting. (Your set looks correct though - I left a little for the OP to work out as a learning exercise but now he is close to set).

EDIT:
Oh, for thoroughness, have you considered testing DT's suggested gif animator at 1/4 scale?
