The circuit in Figure 1 uses only five I/O lines to drive a dot- or bar-graph display of 20 LEDs. Although this version of the design uses a small and inexpensive one-time-programmable microprocessor, ...

This circuit uses two National Semiconductor LM3914 dot/bar-display-driver ICs to implement a two-digit, 0 to 5V LED voltmeter that mimics a subranging flash ADC. An LED bar graph comprising five LEDs ...

There are so many nice hacks in [Joekutz]’s retro LED display project that it’s hard to know where to start. There’s his DIY LED display controlled by an Arduino UNO. To have some text or picture for ...

When it comes to big, bright visuals, nothing beats direct-view LED. Long relegated to select high-profile applications like stadium jumbotrons and Times Square billboards, recent years have seen ...
