I intend to use this project board and the 18x picaxe to drive my four digit seven segment display. Using all eight outputs, I intend to use four of them to drive the 4511 BCD and the other four power the four individual digits. The benefit of using the PICAXE system is that programs are downloaded via a direct cable link straight into the microcontroller. I will program the picaxe with the use of programming editor, which can be downloaded from the picaxe web-site. Using the program language basic I intend to create a programme that will allow the time to be displayed.
