Hi again Nigel, I've been moving, so no time to play.
I Hooked it up like your tut with one transistor working off the other, and hooked to RA4. The ony thing is that the supplies to each of the digits are different, the sencond tranistor is lower voltage and amp.
Could I hook each transistor to a seperate pin and pull the base up to the 8v, with out hurting the Pic.
What resistor should be used between the Pic and Transistor?
Another idea is to drive each digit seperate. Hooking the segments to seperate ports in the pic, and direct power to the displays, sink through the pic. Work? Problems?
Thanks for the Help
Kent
