Welcome to the hexadecimal to 7 segment display demonstration on the basis three board we have the seven
same display we'll be utilizing in on this demonstration.
We have the two rightmost segments which will be used and we have our B the eight switches on the rightmost
bottom part of the baselessly board will be used as inputs.
So we have the first four inputs for our 7 Sigma display which are all zero which is a zero in hexadecimal.
So if I change the first one to one you'll notice that the segment on the right most turns into a 1
and the status of these four switches if I change them you'll notice that we go from an F to a 1 which
is zero to a 1 to 15 which is what in hexadecimal how you count.
So if I make a two in binary which is a 1 0 you'll notice that the we have a 2.
And on our 7 segment display.
So now if I move over we have the next four.
So these four are used.
Go ahead and push them up to show you that these four are used to change the rightmost set and say what
display if we use the next four switches we can toggle those up to give us a 1.
And if we bring the next one that's a three in binary which is shown on the 7 segment display.
And if we bring up all of them they'll give us an F which is a 15 in hexadecimal.
And so we can toggle all the switches in any manner to show us that if we have a value of say 1 1 0
1 0 1 1 1 is d 7 in hexadecimal.
And so this is just a quick and easy way.
If you have lots of bits per say 8 bits we can use two to do two segments on our 7 segment display to
display these 8 bits which is a quick way to represent them if you want to debug a register inside of
your FPGA.
You can use this simple project to output the results of that register and that is the hexadecimal or
7 segment display demonstration.
