Hi, I'm Bill. I'm a software developer with a passion for making and electronics. I do a lot of things and here is where I document my learning in order to be able to inspire other people to make ...

There are plenty of conventional timepieces out there in the world; we’ve also featured a great many that are aesthetically beautiful while being unreadably esoteric. This neat “shadow clock” from ...

This week’s selection is the 3D Printed Electromechanical 7-Segment Display by Instructables contributor tin-foil-hat. If you’re old enough you might recall the pre-LCD digital displays found in clock ...

An Arduino library which provides an API for generic multiplexed display modules. Useful for driving salvaged dvd/vcr/vcd display modules. Currently supports only 7 segment digits.

Occasionally you might need a simple clock module for various projects. A small CMOS clock module, such as the one presented here, is not capable of offering as much precision as a clock module built ...

As an Arduino enthusiast, one of the most exciting and satisfying parts of a project is visualizing the output data. Whether you’re building a weather station, a motion detector, a game, or any other ...

We’re used to seeing all manner of seven-segment displays, be they mechanical, electronic, or something in between. But what all these displays have in common is that they’re, you know, displays.

In a previous article, we explored the behavior of an LED diode as a small light source. We have seen how important a protection resistor is to light up this component. In this article, we will ...

Abstract: Seven segment display is a widely used electronic component in many applications from education to industry, but its main drawback lies in the needed connections to control it using a ...
