gear indicator circuit
Hi, Im new here and not so very experienced on small circuits, but I am an electrician, but I only work with HIGH Voltage.
Here is my project. Im going to make an gear indicator for my car.
I started to draw some prints on how it should work, but now I am stuck, just getting shorts everywhere.
This is how I want it to work.
I have 6 inputs from sensors. I want to translate every input to a digit on a LED display. (Image attached for the LED display I am using. Common Anod/Catod. That means that I can put + & - on whichever I want right?)
If input 1 is active; B and C should light up to form the digit 1. For that pin 9 and 7 should get power right?
If input 2 is active; A, B, E, G and D should light up to form the digit 2.
Etc...
Can someone draw a simple drawing to help me get on line? I want to make a simple and not so expensive display. Not with expensice PLC or Stamp's.
