			Example program which reads an analogue value from an analogue input voltage and displays the reading in Binary on the LED array.

			{{Fcfile\|LED_Count_2D.fcfx\|LED Count}}


			LEDs can be wired either active high or active low. The LED Array components have a property allowing you to configure which LED type your using.

			[[File:LED_Active.jpg]]


			An active high LED will light when the microcontroller pin is outputting a logic 1 and be off when the microcontroller pin is outputting a logic 0 or in input mode.


			An active low LED will light when the microcontroller pin is outputting a logic 0 and be off when the microcontroller pin is outputting a logic 1 or in input mode.


			The series resistor can be on either side of the LED and acts to protect the LED from damage due to excess current. The value of resistor used can be changed based on the brightness of the LED and power consumption.





	~~Each segment will require a current limiting resistor.~~

	~~===Simple Counter===~~

	~~This example counts up from 0 to 9 on the 7-segment display before wrapping back to 0 and starting again. When displaying odd numbers we light the decimal point segment.~~
	~~{{Fcfile\|7Seg_Test.fcfx\|7Segment Display Example}}~~


	~~===Multiplexed Counter===~~

	This next example counts up from 0 to 99 on two 7-segment displays before wrapping back to 0 and starting again. The two displays are driven using a technique called multiplexing. A timer interrupt is used to perform the multiplexing leaving our program free to perform other tasks. Each 7-segment display shares the same segment pin connections but has a unique common pin connection to allow each individual 7-segment display to display a unique value.
	~~{{Fcfile\|7Seg_Test2.fcfx\|7Segment Multiplex}}~~


	~~===Stop Watch===~~

	This next example uses a timer interrupt to multiplex between the displays and a second timer interrupt to count the passing of time allowing for accurate timings. Using four single 7-seg components we create a timer capable of monitoring time from 0.0 to 999.9 seconds in multiples of 100ms. The second timer interrupt flags to the main when the count value has changed allowing the heavier calculations to extract the digits from the counter to be done outside of the high speed interrupt routine and therefore maintain accurate timing.

	~~Switches connected to Port D allow for the timer to be started, stopped and reset.~~
	~~{{Fcfile\|7Seg_Test3.fcfx\|7Segment Timer}}~~


	~~===Segment Control===~~

	~~This example shows a method to display custom characters on 7-segment displays and also allows for numeric values to be displayed.~~
