I got a 4 bit code which i like to output to a 7segment display. Or i can use a 1-out-of-10 code to output to the 7segement code.
The 4bit code is not BCD code.
Display Binary 1-out-of-10 code
0 1110 1000000000
1 1101 0100000000
2 1011 0010000000
3 0111 0001000000
4 0001 0000100000
5 0010 0000010000
6 0100 0000001000
7 1000 0000000100
9 0000 0000000001
8 0000000010
The rest of the binary should display an 8

Thanks.

For some strange reason that is the same as an arrangement i used some
years ago for running a seven segment device.

I arranged for all the segments to be on normally.

When a single high occurred, it would extinguish some segments
accordingly, to make the appropriate display.

I did that with some diodes to the segments, so zero had one diode
over to the middle segment driver.

Two had a couple of diodes, top left and bottom right drivers.

Interesting that you should mention the eight, that had no diodes,
cos for an eight all the segments are lit.

I actually looked at the diode idea. It then uses 22 diodes thats alot for the space it uses maybe a way to minimize the circuit?

hi,
Are you able to write a program for a PIC?:)

No sorry. I cant program PIC.

hi,
Is the 'grey' to bcd convertor logic shown in the link I posted suitable.?
Its output would drive a 7447 bcd to segment driver ic?

This conversion question comes up quite often, the best way is a 16F628A PIC, its a pity you cant get someone to program a PIC for you, its the simplest and smallest method I have seen.

Is this related the 7seg driver thread you have posted?
 
Yes its is related. I got someone to program the PIC thanks alot ill anyway then go with your Eprom suggeston thanks.
