Can't figure out how this 4 digit display works

By ignoblegnome

Sorry this isn't really a robot related question, just an electronics one.

I was cruising through a local electronics shop. They have lots of salvaged parts. They had a whole box of old 4 digit LED clock displays. Since they were only about $3, I picked one up. My son wanted to build a clock.

After working through all the connections, here's the schematic.

Can these displays be controlled by a Picaxe?

By vince086

I found these 2 displays in an old cd/casete/radio combo and was wondering if they were worth keeping,

and if they could be controlled using a Picaxe.

I know that a picaxe can control a display buy using a serial interface but these ones dont have that,

they have about 30 pins, not including the ones for the back lite.

Cheap Lcd for picaxe etc

By Ben967

Hi,

I am new to LMR but for those looking for a cheap lcd I have found a brilliant one on ebay for under five pounds! It is 16x2, uses the hd44780 parallel driver, so can be used with picaxe etc, and even has a backlight!

I have just bought one but have yet to try it with a picaxe, will let you know when (or if) i get it working. Just follow the link below:

picaxe, I2C, display, 8574

Drive a standard HD44780 LCD using a PCF8574 and I2C.
