 7-segmented LED number-indicator is a display which consists of 7 LEDs positioned in the shape of number 8. By lighting or switching off the corresponding LEDs (segments), it is possible to display numbers from 0 to nine as well as some letters. 7-segmented LED number-indicator is a display which consists of 7 LEDs positioned in the shape of number 8.

 Electrically all anodes of the LEDs are connected to one anode pin //ca//. LEDs are lit by switching their cathodes (//a, b, c...//). Exists also reversed connections, where the indicators have a common cathode //cc//. Generally several number-indicators are used for displaying multi digit numbers - for this purpose the indicators are equipped with coma (point) segment //dp//. All in all one indicator has 8 segments, but they are still called 7-segmented according to the number of number-segments.    Electrically all anodes of the LEDs are connected to one anode pin //ca//.

-There is one 7-segment LED number-indicator on the Digital i/o module. It is controlled through a driver with serial interface A6275. The serial interface of the driver is similar to SPI, where both clock signal and data signal are used. Different from SPI the //chip-select// is not used there, and is replaced with //latch// function. The above mentioned three lines are connected to the ATmega128 as follows:    +

-The data is delivered by bits through the data pin. Every time the clock signal goes high, the contents of the shift-index is shifted to the right and the bit from the data-pin is read to the left most cell. By this 8-bits are loaded to the shift-index. If the latch signal is set high, the value of the shift-index is loaded to the latch-index, where it remains until new loading. Each bit of the latch-index is connected through the current switching to one number-indicator’s segment. The segment is lit during the high bit-rate.+===== Practice =====

-For displaying numbers and the letter “E”, is created a constant array //segment_char_map//, where lighting of all 8 segments is marked with bit 1 and switch off is market with bit 0. The bits form higher to lower (from left to right in binary form) are marking segments DPGF, E, D, CBA. The control interface of the driver is realized through software SPI, i.e. by using a software for controlling the data communication pins in the program.  All three pins are set as output with // segment_display_init// function. // segment_display_write// is for displaying the function, which finds the segment-card of the mark from the array and transmits bit by bit  all values of the segments to the driver. The frequency of the clock signal with the software delays is now approximately 500 kHz.+For displaying numbers and the letter “E”, is created a "weak" constant array //segment_char_map//, where lighting of all 8 segments is marked with bit 1 and switch off is market with bit 0.
