Max 7219 8-Digit 7-Segment Display Projects

[cerkit]

I've been working on projects to drive a Max 7219 8-digit 7-segment display module from the Mojo. It's written in Lucid, but I've made the sources (including the Verilog work files) available on GitHub.

There is an accompanying YouTube series called "FPGA for fun". I cover the finite sate machines that I created to make sense out of my logic flow and go through a slide show covering the project. The second video is quite long and is basically me writing out the Lucid code to drive the LED display module. The third video is a bit more bearable as it is only me walking through a rewrite of the decimal counter implementation from the IO shield tutorial. I wanted to create a counter that could count in any base between binary and hexadecimal, so I made it possible to pass the number base as a parameter.

I'm very much an amateur when it comes to FPGA design and development, so these videos are from a layman's perspective.

Thank you very much, very nice project, will order such a MAX7219 LED display for my Mojo.

I've written blog posts covering this project to support the videos.

This has been a lot of fun. I really like the Mojo.

Lucid is a great HDL and is easy to understand. It's also nice to see the resulting Verilog code that's generated by the Mojo IDE as that's been helping me learn Verilog.
