Pico Inventor's Kit Experiment 7 - Seven Segment Display
Experiment 7 from the Inventors Kit for Raspberry Pi Pico, in which we explore using a seven segment display. Included in this resource are code downloads, a description of the experiment and also a video walk-through. This resource provides additional help and is not meant to replace the documentation that ships with the kit.
The Raspberry Pi Pico is a compact microcontroller based on the RP2040 processor - Raspberry Pi's first in-house designed silicon. The RP2040 on the Pico uses 2 ARM processor cores, and also has 4 programmable IO controllers (PIO). These are like mini processors, and can help the Pico complete more complex tasks than it would otherwise be able to do. The Pico has 28 general purpose IO pins (GPIO), and 3 of these can also be used as Analogue inputs. The Pico can be programmed in several languages. The experiments in these resources are written in the Thonny Editor using MicroPython.
Pico Inventor's Kit Exp' 7 - Seven Segment Display
Seven segment displays are a great way of showing numerical values. Each element can be controlled independently. As the name suggests there are seven elements that can be controlled, plus a decimal point (making eight in total). In this experiment we will control the elements to make the display count from zero to nine and back down to zero again.
To learn how individual segments in a seven segment display are controlled.
To make the display count from 0 to 9 and back to 0 again.
