@bob: Wouldn't using only 2 hexadecimal only output 2 displays for the 7-segment LED?

@bob: I have an 8 bit binary number from the counters. I shift the 8 bit binary number using an 8 bit shift register and I have an 8 bit binary number that is multiplied by two. How do I get a 12 bit number so I have a 4bit input for each decoder of the 3 x 7segment displays? I read your post...

What kind of IC would you need to convert the binary to decimal? We're allowed to use any kind of IC's as long as it's not programmable...

I am counting heartbeats. The time settings are 15s and 30s, so I need to multiply by 2 and 4 depending on the setting the user chooses. So far, I got the sensor part to work , and my counter outputs an 8 bit signal. We need to output the bpm to the 3 7-segment LEDs we have, which requires a 12...

Thanks for the quick reply, Bob. Right now, I seem to understand how to do the shift part. But after the multiplying, it's an 8 bit input, and I need 12 bit for the 7-seg display. Do you know how to convert this with an ic?

Yes, now I get that. Hmm but do you know how to convert 8 bit to 12 bit? Right now, I seem to understand how to do the shift part. But after the multiplying, I get an 8 bit input, and I need 12 bit for the 7-seg display. Do you know how to convert this with an ic?

Shifting up from binary URGENT! Hi, I have a project that requires me to multiply a digital input by 2 and 4. Every website I've looked at keeps telling me to "shift it up 2 bits". I know how that works theoretically, ie. adding a 0 after the binary number would be multiplying it by 2. But how...

Hi peeps of this forum. I'm having trouble analyzing the results of an experiment, and it'd be great if I could get some pointers. Thnx :) The experiment: There are two cans. One is broth, aka viscosity is very low. One is cream soup, aka viscosity is very high. The two cans have the same...
