Hi,
it's my 1st post here but i've been using this place for a while for ideas.
My project is a Motorcycle Information Module using CPLD/FPGA tech. I would ask my project supervisor but i have no confidence in her. She asked me if my motorbike was front or rear wheel drive and despite many meetings i still feel she has no idea what i'm talking about.
Despite my best efforts i am unable to figure out how to display a 8-14bit binary number on multiple 7segment displays. I need the 8, 10, & 14bit numbers. I may have the 10 and 14 bit numbers on the same display but switched.
As far as i can tell i need to use a 7447 binary to BCD (then use BCDto 7seg driver) but is there any low powered chip to go straight from binary to a 7seg outputting in decimal format? Also, i do not want to use an eeprom.
Any help would be awesome as i've searched but can't find a definitive answer. Thankfully i've got most of the hard bits behind me.
Cheers
EDIT: It doesn't have to be a 7-seg display. Just something very "bolt-onable". I was going to use a GDM12864H but i have absolutely no idea how to use it.
