In 1910 Frank W. Wood made a board which can display number and after several modifications today it’s called 7-segment display. It is available in two configurations: common cathode and common anode. All the 8 LED terminals have their one end internally shorted and linked with the middle pins such that it serves as a common terminal (cathode or anode). 7 led are used to form the digits while the 8thone is for the dot which helps in identifying the correct orientation. It is widely used in digital clock, calculator, electronic meters and various other applications where numerical display is required. It can be used in place of dot matrix displays which are more complex than seven segment display. Seven segment displays can also be used to display some alphabets. Seven segment displays is a group of Light emitting diode (LED) arrange in figure of 8 pattern.   

Step 1: Choose any active alternating current socket. Fig. 1: Image of an AC socket Note: Make sure that the socket is not turned ON. Step 2: Turn the multimeter knob to the ACV or AC Voltage section: Fig. 2: Image of ACV Section of Multimeter To ensure safe operation make sure that the knob is pointing…

Continuity Test is a method to check current flow across any metallic path. Through this test, any unwanted circuit breaks or shorted connections can be put to verification. Continuity can be tested between any two circuit connections. Apparatus: Multimeter, connecting probes, circuit board. Step 1: Take the circuit board of which you want to test…

Fig. 1: Image of an LED circuit on breadboard Image above shows a simple circuit that glows an LED when connected to power supply.. Connecting LED directly to the power supply will damage it, hence aresistance of suitable value must be connected in series for its proper operation. Following the standard color convention,red wire serves as…

Step 1: How to Use Multimeter Fig. 1: Image of a multimeter   As its name suggests, a multimeter measures various circuit parameters such as resistance, voltage, current, and capacitance. More precision over multimeter readings can be achieved by using a digital output.Measurements of different ranges are marked on the DMM. These are the maximum values of…
