15. 7 segment LED Display 1.8" Blue Common Cathode with Shift Register 74HC595N


Arduino MEGA
7 Segment Display Blue
Breadboard
74HC595N
Breadboard jumpers


Big 7-segment displays have more than one LED in series per segment. Usually three. The DP has usually a single LED. Thats why I don't use resistors. For the dot you should use one.
For more info. (Datasheets)

Starting project.
Put the 74HC595N and the 7 Segment Display on the board.


The pinlayout from the blue segment display (18011AB) differs slightly from the red one.
