Hey guys,
New here and pretty green in electronics. I am pretty good at google and looking up information and putting it to use though. I can solder a kit together but don't really understand how most of it works works. But i am determined have patience and am willing to learn.
What I am trying to do is put a baseball scoreboard together. (i know you can buy them but where is the fun in that???)
It will need:
2 x 2 Digit 7 segment up/down counters that counts up on one button and down on a different button push.
1 x 1 Digit 7 segment up/down counter that counted 0-9 that counts up on one button and down on a different button push. ( this could also just cycle 0-9 then back to zero as 10 isn't a very high number to cycle if you made a mistake)
a row of 3 leds that light up one at a time per button push
a row of 2 leds that light up one at a time per button push
A reset button to reset the state of above two rows of led to be all off.
A row of 2 leds that cycle from off - 1 on - 2 on - off changing states on a button push.
That would all be in the controls of the unit and this would also output the bcd signals (to save wires) for the 7 segment led via a 25 pin connector to the actual scoreboard which will have large 7 segment displays and leds.
Basically what i need to know is how to make an up/down via push button circuit, then make that 3 times, and how to make the leds cycle again make it 3 times, the rest i should be able to work out. (i.e. connecting and running the bigger scoreboard.)
I have attached a pic of basically what I would imagine the controller to look like.
Even if you could point out some kits that do counters that would be great and i will see what we can do from there.
Many thanks in advance.
