Sample C-program/code for NXP LPCXpresso board

Display of numerics 0 to 9 on a 7-segment LED display

In this module a very-simple c program/code to display 0-9 on a 7-segment LED display using ARM Cortex M0 powered NXP's LPCXpresso board using 32 bit microcontroller (MCU) LPC1114F is explained.

Hardware requirements along with the board:

1. Seven segment display (Common Cathode)
2. 8-Resistors (3.3 Kilo ohms)
3. connecting wires
4. General purpose printed circuit board or a breadboard

Seven segment display:

Seven segment LED is device having seven light emitting diodes with either anode terminals (common anode ) or cathode terminals connected together to form a number '8' pattern as shown below in the picture.

To use them you should know the pin configuration of the commercially available displays. As you must have guessed these displays should have nine pins( one for each segment + decimal point +common) but the available modules have two pins for common ground. They are internally connected. So they have total of 10 pins (see the picture below).
