LED Displays with Arduino - 7-Segment & Dot-Matrix
DroneBot Workshop
@dronebotworkshopAbout
Welcome to the Workshop! The DroneBot Workshop is the place where I work with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and lots of other cool microcontrollers, components, and sensors. This is a channel for learning and understanding. While I do build projects, most episodes focus on showing you HOW things work, so you can use the information to bring your own designs to life. Every video has a corresponding article on my website at https://dronebotworkshop.com , along with the diagrams and code samples you’ll need to build your own creations. You can also participate in discussions on my Forum at https://forum.dronebotworkshop.com. Please note that I no longer do any sponsored videos, enquiries for these will be ignored! If you'd like to know more about me or the DroneBot Workshop you can read the FAQ at https://dronebotworkshop.com/about-dronebot-workshop/faq/ And if you have technical questions please ask them on the Forum. Welcome to the Workshop! I hope you enjoy your stay! Bill

Video Description
Use both 7-segment and dot-matrix LED displays with an Arduino. Article with code: https://dronebotworkshop.com/led-displays/ More articles and tutorials: https://dronebotworkshop.com Join the conversation on the forum: https://forum.dronebotworkshop.com Subscribe to the newsletter and stay in touch: https://dronebotworkshop.com/subscribe/ Yes I know they have been around for over half a century, but LED displays are still a great choice for a number of applications. They are inexpensive and have great visibility and durability. Today we will be working with both 7-segment and dot-matrix LED displays, in single and multiple modules. I’ll show you a number of different configurations of LED displays and how to wire them up and code for them. I’ll be using an Arduino Uno for all the experiments, however, the information is equally applicable to just about any microcontroller. Here is the Table of Contents for today's video: 00:00 - Introduction 01:34 - LED Displays 07:37 - Single 7-Segment Display 15:37 - Multiple 7-Segment Displays 24:27 - MAX7219 8-Character 7-Segment Display 32:41 - Dot-Matrix Display Module 42:57 - Conclusion If you need the code I used in the examples, just check out the article on the DroneBot Workshop website at https://dronebotworkshop.com/led-displays/ Hope this video lights up your life! :) Bill
