Since any PORTB pin is able to source a max.

of 20mA per pin with PORTB capable of

sourcing a max- imum total current of 100mA, hence we can use PORTB to drive LED
display directly. As shown in the circuit, 8 LEDs are connected to PORTB with each
120 Ohm current limiting resistor

EXERCISES

Modify the above program to display

the following sequence : -

LED1 and LED8 turn on, 1 sec delay;

LED2 and LED7 turn on, 1 sec delay;
LED3 and LED6 turn on, 1 sec delay;
LED4 and LED5 turn on, 1 sec delay;
Loop back & Repeat again forever
TWO 7 SEGMENT LED & 2 SWITCHES

Since we can source a maximum of 20mA per pin for PORTB and total maximum
source current of PORTB is 100mA, hence we can use PORTB to drive LED display
directly. As shown in the circuit, 2 common cathode 7-segment LEDs are connected to
PORTB with 120 Ohms current limit- ing resistor. Each segment of two LED are tied in
parallel to P1. Q1 and Q2 are activated by logic high of PA0 and PA1 which switch on
ground to the respective common cathode pins. PA2 and PA3 pin are use to read the
inputs S1 or S2 switches.

The following code, 7-SEG.C demonstrate how to drive two 7-segment LEDs. The
program first display digits on the Left LEDs and counts from 0 to 9 with a delay of 1
second between each digit. Then it switches to the Right LED and repeats the same
tasks and then the whole sequence is repeated all over again from the beginning.

EXERCISES

Assignment 1 :
The two 7-segment LED now is made to display 00 simultaneously and starting
counting up automatically by incrementingby one with a one second delay between
each increment. When count reach 99, it should reset itself to 00 and repeat all over
again

Assignment 2 :
This is a modification to Asignment 1 where the increment by one is executed only
when S1 switch is pressed. When the switch is released, the increment stops. When S2
switch is pressed, it initiate a decrement by one. When count is 99, and S1 is pressed, it
becomes 00. When the count is 00, and S1 is pressed, it will becomes 99.
