Lesson 27 - 74HC595 and 7-Segment Display

Controlling a 7-Segment Display Module with a 74HC595 shift register. Demonstrate a slightly modified 74HC595 and 7-Segment Display Elegoo tutorial sketch and circuit. A beginner's guide to the Most Complete Starter Kit by Elegoo.

Hello everyone, I'm Rick the Tech Enthusiast here with the next Elegoo Lesson. This is the next lesson on my Arduino UNO Series covering the Most Complete Starter Kit by Elegoo. I try to follow the included tutorial and will point out any changes or corrections as I find them.

As mentioned before, I purchased this Elegoo starter kit and Elegoo isn't sponsoring me. I just thought it would be fun to do a video of each Lesson as I was learning the Arduino environment.

We’ll need a few things from your Elegoo Arduino UNO kit. I’ll list the items below. In this lesson we’re going to check out the 7-Segment Display Module, and how we can use a 74HC595 shift register to control it using three data connections. I’ll step through the Elegoo provided tutorial, briefly explain the code, and build and configure a simple circuit that is provided in the tutorial to demonstrate the functionality. Then will expand the sketch to include an additional functionality. I hope you enjoy it.

Parts you’ll need for the tutorial:
* Elegoo Arduino UNO R3 board
* The 74HC595 shift register IC
* 7-segment 1-digit display
* Eight 220-ohm resistors
* The breadboard
* A bunch of male-to-male jumper wires

The next lesson will be Lesson 28: Four Digital Seven Segment Display
