The 2026 M5 Hex Display
Hex to Seven-Segment LED: A Breadboard-Friendly Hexadecimal Display for Teaching Digital Logic and Programmable Hardware
This interactive demonstration presents a small breadboard-friendly printed circuit board designed to make the hexadecimal value of an unsigned four-bit digital logic signal immediately visible to students of digital electronics. The board accepts a four-bit binary input plus power and ground, and displays the corresponding hexadecimal value — 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A b C d E F — on a single seven-segment LED display.
