Need working circuit for this "arduino based 7 segment counter || Finger Click speed || Race"

[pradoartz]

Hello Friends,
Please have a look in the video below. I am working in a project like this. This guy presents his code and circuit in his video description, code is perfectly compiling but the circuit is not good. Please help me in designing a good circuit for this project with all buttons and resistors in place. Thanks

Things i have in my hand:
4 x single digit 7 seg display - Common Cathode
1 x Arduino Uno
5 x Push buttons

Could you start by showing us that circuit you have already tired that's not working? Perhaps someone can tell you what's wrong with it.

finally got the schematic.... Thanks

That schematic you posted depicts common anode displays with PNP "source" drivers. The program 'sketch' appears to be for common cathode displays with NPN "sinking" digit drivers.

To use your common cathode displays with that program 'sketch' the schematic should probably look something like that shown below, though I'm not sure if the BC547 would be a suitable NPN transistor.

Cheerful regards, Mike

And if the code is written for common anode you'll need to invert the outputs, either by replacing the lookup table for the 7 seg, or by inverting the bits just before you write them using the ! operator.

As I mentioned in post #4, the program appears to be written for common cathode displays with NPN "sinking" drivers;

byte seven_seg_digits[10][7] = {
        { 1,1,1,1,1,1,0 },  // = 0
        { 0,1,1,0,0,0,0 },  // = 1
        { 1,1,0,1,1,0,1 },  // = 2
        { 1,1,1,1,0,0,1 },  // = 3
        { 0,1,1,0,0,1,1 },  // = 4
        { 1,0,1,1,0,1,1 },  // = 5
        { 1,0,1,1,1,1,1 },  // = 6
        { 1,1,1,0,0,0,0 },  // = 7
        { 1,1,1,1,1,1,1 },  // = 8
        { 1,1,1,0,0,1,1 }   // = 9

Yes if the chip drives the segments directly.

finally got the schematic.... Thanks

do you have proteus simulation for this?
