Zeroseg with custom built 7 Segment Display
Posted: Wed Jul 22, 2020 1:55 pm
Hi All,
I am successfully using a ZeroSeg with the included 7 Segment display, however id like to scale the display up. My plan is to build a display using 5mm LEDs (14 per digit) but i am aware that a 5mm LED pulls around 10-15mA each (and i want around 6 Digits). can anyone point me in the right direction to power this, Will I need a separate supply into the ZeroSeg or do i need some type of driver board
Thank in advance
