i need help with this project

Post by thekiller578 »

Alright im very new to this, and as far as i got (making the LED blink) im happy!
but i want to learn how to setup a keypad with a(n) 4 digit 7 segment LED display, ive been doing my research and failed to find anything
on setting both up on the arduino board, (breadboard) does anyone know of any good links?
my project is a(n) airsoft bomb prop for Milsim games but i cant live without making one!
i have experince in soldering and some circutry but not microcontrollers

well, I'd start here http://arduino.cc/. Search for what you want. I would not try to build it all at once. Break it down into bite-sized pieces - thy interfacing to a single button at first, then move to the keypad (it's a little harder than you might think), then move to a a 7 segment display. You probably won't find your exact project so you'll need to pull from different projects to create yours. Hint - you might want to get a serial 4 digit 7 segment display, instead of the bare unit. It will be easier for you.
