I found a box (BIG box) of 7 segment 2 decimal point 13 pin LED displays that I want to use for a project. (Jameco product number 176559 - number on the display is C8021-11). Unfortunately, Jameco has no datasheet on this product that I can find. The catalog says that it is common cathode, max 2 volt, 20ma.
The pins are like so looking from the back.
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 No problem. With a 1.80 volt supply, I should be able to map out what is what. Well, yes problem. No combination of any two pins will cause a segment to light, so this particular segment type must have an enable or blanking pin maybe?So far, no amount of googling has turned up this particular segment's pinout, although with a 24k dialup line I can't say that I have exhausted the search possibilities out there. There are spec sheets on the device, but no pinouts. I have found 10 pin, 14 pin and 18 pin displays, but no
13 pin devices.Anybody got a pinout for this kind of display module? Or a link to one?
Thanks John
