Questions About NX-1000 Board

vens

I have a couple question about NX-1000 experiment board.

1.· Is there a built in constant for the 7 segment display for each digit...1-4?
2.· how can I get all four digit to display '0000' and use 1 digit to count up and down?

vens,

·· No there is no preset constants for the 7-segment display digits.· You can create them in your code.· As for the digits being used in a counter, my best advice is to download and read the, "What's A Microcontroller?" text, a free download form our website.· And then you can get code for the NX-1000 using the displays from the Stampworks Manual.· Links to both are posted below.

The displays on the NX-1000 are designed to be multiplexed; you can use a MAX7219 or MC14489 to do that.
