moving display diy tutorial
hmmm .... tat was so much info regarding tis circuit !!
hi , all ..
but recently my teacher giv me a assignmnet which is almost similar to this project .
Basically it's almost the same , he wanted us to use atmel 8051 to produce display of A-Z alphabet and 0-9 number o dot matrix . But then , because he provides us with the different ic , accesorries and etc .. i confused wit it . so , wanna ask the electronics expert here if u all can provide any help ? or link to helpful website ? thanks in advance ..
the component provided is : ie : component ( quantities )
crystal 11.0592 Mhz ( 1 )
40 - way DIP IC socket ( 1 )
micro-tact switch ( 2 )
10k - 8 way gang resistor ( 1 )
18-way gang resistor ( 1 )
100 0hm resister ( 1 )
1k resistor ( 16 )
8.2K resister ( 1 )
C104 ( 2 )
10uF capacitor (2 )
1uF capacitor ( 2 )
7805 ( 1 )
atmel89s51 ( 1 )
project board ( 2 )
uln 2803 ( 4 )
and lastly the important one " 2 pieces of 2.3" 8x8 bi-color dot matrix display "
the teacher requires minimum functionning circuit tat able to display numbers and alpahets .but for bonus points is to make animation or simple games ..
in this topic , there's so many info regarding one dot matrix , which i found helpful . but sadly when facing tis project which use two pieces of 8x8 dot matrix plus some ic like uln2803 which i dun know how it's works , it's already giv me some headache ..
some points to add ,
1): since tow 8x8 dot matrix will occupied most of the port , so the teacher ask us to reduce one of the 8x8 matrix to 7x7 dot matrix display , thus tat will leaving one free port for " enter " button . so , if student wan to setup more buttons , then he will be forced to reduce the dot matrix display become smaller .
2) : the teacher only provides 2 switch which one reserve for "reset " button and another one is " enter " button , but he hope tat if can , students are welcome to use three buttons so tat one is " menu" , " enter " , " cancel or reset " .
i hope tat if any expert here is willing to help me
any simple circuit , hints , or links are very welcome :!:
p/s : i just hope tat i can get some help on how to construct atmel 8051 connect to 4 IC of uln2803 and connect to 2 8x8 dot matrix ..
thanks once again
