Today, 09:08betwixt replied to a thread Can't get digits other than 'zero' in 4-DIGIT 7-SEGMENT DISPLAY in MicrocontrollersI don't use Proteus (or Windows apps at all) but if what Baileychic just said: I would say it is a very poor simulator. I can see why simulations...6 replies | 184 view(s)

Yesterday, 23:17betwixt replied to a thread Can't get digits other than 'zero' in 4-DIGIT 7-SEGMENT DISPLAY in MicrocontrollersNot sure why the simulation fails and I do not have Proteus to check. If you built it in real hardware you need a resistor in series with each LED...6 replies | 184 view(s)
