Description

Mec2Digit provides all you need to build a complete system for driving digital displays—ideal for counters, timers, and human interface devices with segment displays.

• Hardware: Circuit schematic and board layout with KiCad.
• Firmware: Arduino code for the microcontroller.

Requirements

• Hardware:

  • Arduino-compatible microcontroller
  • 7-segment display
  • Additional components listed in hardware/BOM

• Software:

  • Arduino IDE
  • KiCad

Getting Started

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/dottorconti/Mec2Digit.git

2. Firmware

• Open the firmware/ folder with the Arduino IDE.
• Select the correct board in the IDE.
• Compile and upload to your microcontroller.

3. Hardware

• Open the hardware/ folder with KiCad.
• View, edit, or export Gerber files for PCB fabrication.
• Check the bill of materials (BOM) for the components list.
