USB7

Introduction

The USB7 is a 6 digit LED display, controlled by a USB virtual COM port.

The 6 digit 7 segment display bridges the gap between computer software and real-world display for occasions where a computer monitor isn't ideal. Other solutions to this problem involve the parrallel port or serial port, which are missing from many modern computers, and a variety of logic ICs, which can be daunting at first. Even other USB based solutions require surface mount soldering of a dedicated (and pricey) USB chip. The USB7 uses a single microcontroller to provide a reliable USB virtual serial port.

Details

Simple to use

• The USB interface provides all of the communications and power to the display.
• Simple ASCII data over the virtual serial port controlls all of the displays functions.

Easy to assemble

• All through hole parts.
• An easy kit contains all of the required parts, including a pre-programmed microcontroller. (Available from Fundamental Logic.)
• Standard 0.56" common-annode display format allows versitility in display selection. Kits are available in three colors.
• Two variants of the PCB are avaiable, one with and one without mounting holes.
