Complete Idiot HELP NEEDED
Hello,
I am a complete idiot when it comes to electronics so please bare with me,
I have a computer which needs an additional circuit for a diagnostics "P80P" display, its a 2 digit 7 segment led display, I believe that the segment timing control is done by the PC itself and that all i need is to get things hooked up with power from the PC floppy connector to run the two 7 segment leds. the computer connection looks like this.
LODIG NC
SEGA SEGB
SEGC SEGD
SEGE SEGF
SEGG HIDIG
I am learning some basic electronic stuff at the moment but have nowhere enough knowledge to even contemplate calculating whats required - and by the time I know enough I probably wont need it anymore.
Can someone help me please.
Note: I can operate a Multimeter and weild a soldering iron with some competence.
Adjusted title for better result
