I'm using a simple 2 digit multiplexing routine with 2 7-segment displays controlled by a 16f84a. It would look much cleaner if the most significant digit were blanked instead of displaying a zero. How is this done if it's posible? Thanks. Aaron
I don't understand but maybe I didn't give enough info. I'm counting switch closures with tmr0 and using digbyte macro to separate digits, then display on 2 7-segs. It would be nice if the tens digit was dark until it is needed (for that matter it would also be nice if the ones digit was dark at the beginning when no number is displayed).
I guess I figured it out. Atomsoft's confirmation that it could be done and Nigel's few words got me to thinking. I did a comparison of the ms digit with zero and tested for the z flag. Thanks for your input!!!
This is a toy basketball portion of a treasure hunt game for my grandkids. When they make ten baskets the next clue is dropped and noise is made.

Pretty simple isn't it? - I did a similar thing for a number displayed on an LCD, added a flag you could set which caused it to blank all leading zero's, except for one on it's own.
