Seven Segment Display Numbers

Code for driving segment display. To drive a common cathode the NOT operator ! must be removed from the front of the array in the highlighted part of the code.

// make an array to save Sev Seg pin configuration of numbers

int num_array[10][7] = {  { 1,1,1,1,1,1,0 },    // 0

                          { 0,1,1,0,0,0,0 },    // 1

                          { 1,1,0,1,1,0,1 },    // 2

                          { 1,1,1,1,0,0,1 },    // 3

                          { 0,1,1,0,0,1,1 },    // 4

                          { 1,0,1,1,0,1,1 },    // 5

                          { 1,0,1,1,1,1,1 },    // 6

                          { 1,1,1,0,0,0,0 },    // 7
