Hi,
I've just built a 4 bit adder, which outputs up to a 5 bit binary number (to some LEDs). Now I've got the basic adder working, I want to output to 7 segment displays.
This is where I get stuck. Is it possible to drive several 7 segment displays from a 5 bit input to display 1-31 in decimal on the 7 segments, without using a microprocessor. My best guess so far is to use some kind of multiplexer after the binary outputs, but I don't think it would work.
Thanks,
Alex
