Introduction: Count Down on 7 Segment Display W/RPi 3
In this instructable I will be showing and teaching you how to make seven segment display that displays a countdown from 9 to zero(point is optional) with a raspberry pi 3.
Items Required:-
1x raspberry pi 3
1x solderless prototyping breadboard
10x male to male jumper wires
1x T cobbler
1x T cobbler adapter
And other required peripherals
Step 1: First Step
In this step we will be wiring the bottom 5 pins of the 7 segment display to the RPi
dot - gpio 40
c - gpio 38
com - gpio 34
d - gpio 36
e - gpio 32
follow the pictures given below
Step 2: Second Step
In this step we will be wiring the top 5 pins of the 7 segment display to the RPi
g - gpio 37
f - gpio 35
com - gpio 39
a - gpio 33
b - gpio 31
follow the pictures given below
Step 3: Third Step
In this step we will be connecting the RPi to the rest of the project
follow the pictures given below
Step 4: The Programming
the whole thing below the line is the program
copy the program and paste it in the python 2
