I'm driving three 7-seg LED displays from a PIC by mulitplexing them - actually "Charlieplexing":
I've got a few of these boards and in some cases one or two of the 7-seg displays are clearly brighter/duller than the others. Is this an issue with the display ICs (all the same type), the 2N3704 transistors (all the same type) that I use, or something else? FWIW, within each display IC, the brightness of each segment is the same. I know it's not the resistors since I they reside on a different PCB that connects to this display, and so the same resistors are used everytime.
Many thanks, Steve
