How to interface one 7 segment display with Raspberry Pi Pico | Raspberry Pi Pico Simulator

Project Summary

In this Pi Pico example, we will connect Pi Pico to a 7 segment display and a slide switch. Depending on the input from the switch, the counter is counted up or down. 

This Project will use a Pi Pico simulator. A 7 segment display with very cheap and very easy to drive. It can be used in battery systems to display battery voltage or act like ammeter as well. No complex libraries are needed. It is a nice way to have a low cost and effective HMI for your project. You can display status, error messages, and menu system for a complex project as well. You can refer to more details on the 7 segment display.

Wokwi Raspberry Pi Pico simulator is used here as it is free and easy to use online. You will get the code and the connection diagram explicitly in the Pi Pico simulation section below.
