}DebugStep 1：Use 5461AS four digits tube. It is a common cathode tube. (5461BS is common cnode) Different model of digital tube maybe have different pin, so this connection method may not apply to any of the four digital tube, you should know distribution of the digital tube pin before use it. 5461AS four digital tube pin： From the figure, we can see that pin 12, 9, 8, 6 controls the thousand bit, hundred bit, ten bit and one bit (number: 1, 2, 3, 4, later will be used) digital tube on and off. The rest of pins has indicated by number. Although looked from the circuit diagram, pins arranged very irregular, but the distribution is very simple on the physical element. See following diagram. Put the digital tube's positive toward yourself, (decimal point is displayed in the lower right), then the distribution of the pins will be shown in following diagram (lower left corner is 1, reverse direction when the needle is transferred to pin 12. That is the lower left corner is 1, the bottom right hand corner is 6, the upper right corner to 7, the upper left corner of 12). If you don't want to remember it, you can use marker pen write the pin number on the side of the digital tube, convenient for later use. Step 2：Copy the code it IDE and compile it Here need to talk about what are the common cathode and common anode. Common cathode means that all the control pins connect to the anode respectively, the HIGH on, LOW off. Common anode, by contrast, the output level is HIGH for off, and LOW is for on. but bright. In this experiment, we use 5461AS the four digital tube, it is a common cathode digital tube (5461BS is a commom anode digital tube). So all control digital pins is HIGH will light LED. Step 3：Set up circuit, as follows： Step 4：Run program Step 5：Observe digital tube ResultFout digits tube will display four digits number. Video |
