| Need 7-segment display CCS driver for 18f4550 |

Good day,
I am working on a project with PIC18F4550 using 7 segment for my display. I need a CCS driver for this 7 segment display, to include in my code.
I am planning to use either 2 digits or 4 digits display.
Please can anyone help me out?
Thanks |

I have this code for 2-digit which works great and only needs 1 resistor.
See the top comments for exact parts used.

/* Dual P-mosfet Fairchild FDW2508PB (Digikey FDW2508PBCT-ND */
/* All 3.3V logic */

Please Mr Mskala, how can I use your code because I am working on a similar project.
Undefined identifier "rtcc_toggle"and "led_serial" error keeps recurring.
Can you give step by step details on how a newbie can use your program codes.
Thanks |

Did you bother to read the part number info he gave and look up the data sheet?
The LDD-E302NI is common anode.

| "Expecting an identifier" |

The major problem now is compiling this code successfully with CCS compiler. It keeps bringing up this error ""Expecting an identifier"" for clock_isr.
I am using PIC18F4550.
What might be wrong? Pls help out.
Thanks |

I use a common cathode 7 segment display.
Thanks in advance. |

I think this quotes are enough for dyeatman
My qustion is not to mskala
decode details for common cathode (Decimal values)
0 - 63
1 - 6
2 - 91
3 - 79
4 - 102
5 - 109
6 - 95
7 - 7
8 - 127
9 - 103 |

My apologies, I cut out a bit too much.
The variable rtcc_toggle is just a global 1-bit var. Since there are 2
characters in the display, every 8.2ms we have to change which 7-seg
is being driven. At that rate (or faster) it does not flicker.
The driver chip takes the 8 segments to be displayed serially. This is the routine.
| Code: | void LED_serial(int8 val) {
int8 i;
for (i=0;i<7;i++) {
output_bit(PIN_LED_SDI,val&1);
val>>=1;
output_high(PIN_LED_CLK);
output_low(PIN_LED_CLK);
}
output_high(PIN_LED_CLK); // last bit is unimportant
output_low(PIN_LED_CLK);
output_high(PIN_LED_LE); // latch
output_low(PIN_LED_LE);
} |
Hope this helps. |

Hello mskala,
Thanks for your assistance so far. I want to suggest you the complete code for the 7 segment (an error-free code) display. I am compiling with CCS PCWH 4.032 compiler for PIC.
Thank you once again.
