    How Ya Doin'?
    It looks like to me you are having fun with a 7-segment display. You must remember that you only have seven segments lined up like a box on the bottom and three more sections that make a box on the top. Each segment is written only as a complete line. If you make a G it would look like a 6 because the center line would go the whole way across. The nice thing about these displays is you can write in hexadecimals. Hexidecimals go between·0 and f. Like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, b, C, d, E, and f. These are more compact than decimals and use all the numbers between 0 and 15 using binary so you do not have to waste space like decimal binary. There are several other digits you can use but not all the alphabet. Later on I'll betcha you get a lcd screen and I know you will have fun with it also. All you have to do is read and reread. Also come back here with any questions you may come up with. There are a lot of people here smarter than myself and they are very gracious about giving their advice.

    hey man, thanks for your help, it remind me of a lot of stuff I forgot ..
    but listen, .. I already googled the 10 = a , 11 = b and so on ..
    when I post their codes in the program .. the device am connecting to my laptop via a usb cable to usually display the numbers doesn't display the letters in this way ..
    when I recreated the program .. I reached to it like that

    ' {$STAMP BS2}
    ' {$PBASIC 2.5}

    pinCounter VAR Nib

    PAUSE 1000
    DEBUG "I/O pin", CR,
    "
    ", CR

    DEBUG "program running!"

    OUTH = %00000000
    DIRH = %11111111


    OUTH = %01000011
    PAUSE 1000

    OUTH = %01001000
    PAUSE 1000

    OUTH = %01000001
    PAUSE 1000

    OUTH = %01000011
    PAUSE 1000

    OUTH = %01001000
    PAUSE 1000

    OUTH = %01000001
    PAUSE 1000


    DIRH = %00000000

    END



    so .. it`s still not appearing as letters :S .. what can I do .? [noparse]:([/noparse]
