Seven-segment display |
In this experiment we will use the common anode seven segment display.
Please refer to the basic level tutorial of this series to know more about seven segment display.
|
| Let us see the connection circuit details.
The Dot pin of the Seven Segment Display is connected to the pin 13 of Arduino. Any one of the COM pins is connected to the +5V through a 220 ohm resistor. | |
| Refer the pin mapping for Arduino and microcontroller. | |
| Show the live connection | This is the live setup of the connection.
|
| Point to the Dot in the diagram | Now we will write an assembly program to turn on the dot led on the seven segment display. |
| Slide: Software Setup | We need to install an assembler AVRA and AVRDUDE.
AVRA is an assembler that will generate a hex file. AVRDUDE is used to upload any hex file to the Arduino board. |
| Press Ctrl + Alt + T keys | Open the terminal by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T keys together. |
| Type
> sudo apt-get install avra dude |
To install avra and avrdude, type
sudo space apt hyphen get space install space avra space avrdude |
| Enter the administrative password if prompted and press Enter. | |
| Press ‘Y’ | We can see the installation process has begun.
Press 'Y' wherever there is a prompt during the installation, to confirm the configuration. Installation will take some time to complete depending upon the internet speed. |
| Point to the prompt | We can see that the installation has been completed successfully.
Let us clear the screen. |
| Now let us connect the Arduino board to the computer. | |
| Installing AVRA | To check the port number of Arduino, I'll type
ls space forward slash dev forward slash ttyACM asterisk |
| Highlight ttyACM0 | We can see the output as
forward slash dev forward slash ttyACM0 Here ttyACM0 represents the port number of Arduino. You may get a different port number. Make a note of your port number. |
| Slide 6:
Def files for ATmega328P |
Download m328Pdef.inc file from the Code files link of this tutorial.
We need to include this library file in the first line of the source code. This allows the user to use Register and Bit name when writing assembly programs. |
| Let us write a assembly program and upload it to the microcontroller. | |
| Open gedit text editor | Open any text editor and type the following. |
| Highlight according to narration:
;program to turn on the dot LED |
Semicolon represents comment statements.
These statements are ignored by the assembler and are not executed. |
| .include "/home/spoken/Assembly/m328Pdef.inc" | This line tells the assembler to include the m328Pdef.inc file.
We had downloaded this file earlier and in my computer this is the path. Note that we have to specify the entire file path. |
| ; Configure pin 13 on Arduino as Output 5:10 ,8:18
ldi r16, 0b00100000
|
ldi stands for "load immediate"
This sets pin PB5, that is digital pin 13 as output. It tells the assembler to take a working register r16 and load a binary number into it. |
| out DDRB, r16 | This line tells the compiler to copy the contents of the register r16 into the DDRB register. |
| ; Making pin 13 LOW
ldi r17, 0b00000000
|
This sets all the pins to 0 volts except pin PB5, (i.e digital pin 13) which is set to 5 volts. |
| out PortB, r17 | This line copies the same binary number from our storage register r17 to PortB. |
| Start:
Rjmp Start |
Relative jump statement executes the program in an infinite loop.
The program has to just keep running, in order for the LED to remain ON. |
| Save the code as dot hyphen blink.asm file in the home slash spoken slash Assembly folder. | |
| This code is available in the Code files link of this tutorial, as well.
You can download and use it. | |
| Switch to the terminal. | Switch to the terminal. |
| Type,
> cd /home/spoken/Assembly > avra dot-blink.asm |
Go to the folder where dot hyphen blink.asm file is saved.
Type, avra space dot hyphen blink.asm and press Enter. |
| Point to the /home/spoken/Assembly folder | This will assemble the code and create a file dot hyphen blink.hex.
Let us see the dot hyphen blink.hex file that is generated in the same folder. |
| Next we need to upload the code to Arduino. | |
| switch back to the terminal. | |
| Type,
avrdude -p atmega328p -c arduino -b 115200 -P /dev/ttyACM0 -U flash:w:dot-blink.hex 3:45 7:06,2:00,6:22 |
For this, type
Here ttyACM0 represents the port number of Arduino. dot hyphen blink.hex is the file that is generated. and press Enter. |
| Point to the output | Now you can see that the dot LED in the seven segment is glowing. |
| Slide 7:
Assignment 1 |
Pause the tutorial and do the below assignment.
|
| Next, we will display the digit 2 on the seven segment display. | |
| Point to the diagram
|
To display '2', a,b,d,e,g segments should be high and the other LEDS should be low. |
| Connect Pins a, b, c, d, e, f and g of the seven-segment display to pins 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 of Arduino.
The two common pins are connected to +5V through resistors.
| |
| show the connection | Let us see the live connection setup. |
| Let us see the source code for this program. | |
| open gedit | Open any text editor and type the following code. |
| .include "/home/spoken/Assembly
/m328Pdef.inc" Highlight 4 lines |
As seen earlier, we should first configure the pins as output first.
Then make it as high or low according to our requirement. |
| ;Configure pins 2-7 on Arduino as Output
ldi r16, 0b11111100 out DDRD, r16 |
These two lines makes the bits 2 to 7 on PORT D as output. |
| ; Configure pin 8 on Arduino as Output
ldi r16, 0b00000001 out DDRB, r16 |
These two lines makes bit 0 on PORT B as output.
These bits corresponds to the digital pins 2 to 8 on Arduino. |
| ;Writing number 2 on Seven Segment Display | Here, we are making the pins as high or low corresponding to whatever number we want to display.
In our case, it is digit two. |
| Highlight the code
ldi r17, 0b10010000 out PortD, r17 ldi r17, 0b00000000 out PortB, r17
Rjmp Start
|
Here, we are writing 0100100 to digital pins 2 to 8 of Arduino.
This will make all the segments of SSD low, except c and g. |
| save the file as two.asm | Let us save this as two.asm file. |
| Switch back to the terminal. | Switch back to the terminal.
Let us clear the screen. |
| Type, avra two.asm and press Enter. | Type, avra space two.asm and press Enter. |
| type
avrdude -p atmega328p -c arduino -b 115200 -P /dev/ttyACM0 -U flash:w:two.hex
|
To upload, press the up arrow to get the previous command.
Now change the filename as shown and press Enter. |
| Point to the output | Now you can see that the digit 2 in the seven segment is glowing. |
| Slide 8:
Assignment 2 |
Pause the tutorial and do the below assignment.
|
| Next, we will use a Decoder to display the number 5 on the Seven Segment Display. | |
| Slide 9:
Show the image of the decoder: |
We are using 7447 IC. |
| Slide 10:
Show the pin image of 7447 IC |
The ā (a complement) to ¯f (f complement) pins of the decoder connect to the a – f pins of Seven Segment Display.
Vcc and the GND pins of the decoder are connected to +5V and the GND pins of Arduino. Connect the A, B,C,D pins of the Decoder to pins 2,3,4,5 of Arduino. Note that this decoder is compatible only with common anode seven segment display. |
| Show the setup | Let us see the live connection setup. |
| Show the image of the table:
D C B A Decimal 0 1 0 1 5 |
The input pins of the decoder are A,B,C and D.
A being the lowest significant bit (LSB) and D being the most significant bit (MSB). For example, the number 5 is visible on the display when the A,B,C and D inputs are as shown here. |
| open gedit | Let us see the source code for this program.
Open any text editor and type the following code. |
|
.include "/home/user/m328Pdef.inc" ;Configure pins 2,3,4 and 5 on Arduino as Output ldi r16, 0b00111100 out DDRD, r16 |
The first two lines makes the bits 2 to 5 on PORT D as output.
This means we are making digital pins 2 to 5 in Arduino as output pins. 2 to 5 pins in the Arduino are connected to A, B, C, D pins of decoder. |
| ;Writing number 5 on Seven Segment Display
ldi r16, 0b00010100 out PORTD, r16 |
The next two lines are giving input of 0101 to decoder inputs.
This will then be decoded as 5 in the seven segment display. |
| Start:
Rjmp Start |
|
| Save it as decoder.asm file. | Save it as decoder.asm file. |
| Switch back to the terminal. | Switch back to the terminal. |
| Type, avra decoder.asm and press Enter. | Type, avra space decoder.asm and press Enter.
|
| type
avrdude -p atmega328p -c arduino -b 115200 -P /dev/ttyACM0 -U flash:w:decoder.hex |
To upload, press the up arrow to get the previous command.
Now change the filename as shown and press enter. |
| Point to the output | Now we can see that the digit five in the seven segment is glowing. |
