Help Requied with Design "Back to the Future"

Post by Prop_Collector »

Hi Guys, I'm hoping someone can help me out as i'm very new to all this.


Ok so I am trying to recreate the the Delorean Time Circuits from "Back to the Future"
so far I have generated a design that uses 10 seven sgement led displays and 3 fouteen segment led display
the seven segment diplays with show numbers and the fourteen segments abrieviated months (eg: NOV, OCT etc)
and what I want them to display three different sets of numbers and letters that I can change with the push
of a switch for eample

***push switch 1***

1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-0-N-O-V

***push switch 2***

2-4-6-8-0-1-3-5-7-9-S-E-P

***push switch 3***

1-3-5-7-9-2-4-6-8-A-U-G

Now I have created to banks of 5 x seven segment diplays using 2 x MAX7219 but beyond that I get confused as
to which driver chip to use for the 3 fourteen segment displays and then I am not sure which main board is
required to program and control the whole thing.

Any help whith this would be great
