Seven Segment Display (Project 1)

Hi guys just thought i’d let you meet my project 1 for my logic and switching theory subject. That’s actually a running message controlled by a dip switch (which is not seen on the picture its located at the bottom of the bread board). Will you believe it when i say this project cost me nearly 1,200 php? I can only imagine how much our next projects will cost us:!1

We call it the Decoder don’t ask me what exactly a decoder does cause i won’t be able to explain it well lol.  I was able to pass only one day after the deadline so my score is only 19/40. Yeah i know i failed but i didn’t really cared that much (i deserved it though). I was very happy on how it turned out. The only regret that i have on this project is i’m not the one who made it. I paid someone to do this. Well actually he’s the one who offered it to me and everybody was doing the same so i made a very difficult and turned out to be a very good decision. I was able to study my other subject for our quizzes and exams instead of just focusing on that one crazy project. See those wires  and how they are connected? It will make you crazy!

But for our project two, me and my classmates promised that we will do it by ourselves for our own good (we don’t have enough budget anymore to pay someone to do it for us). Guess what’s our new project is? Our project two will be a calculator To be passed next week and we haven’t started yet! We dont even have an idea how to start. So this week will be a very busy week for me. I just hope we finish it on time. And i need 5 more breadboards! Where will i find/borrow one?  I can’t afford to buy anymore. I can only hope for the best for us this week! Wish us luck
