I'm building a circuit that reads from the BCD input of a 7-segment decoder. I'm using LE as the trigger to the PIC16F84 to capture the BCD code. Problem is when I connect to the input of the BCD chip 4511 the 7-segment display flickers and displays wrong digits, I tried using a opto-isolator and an Op-amp 741( as Unity Gain Follower) but the display I'm reading from is still affected by branching the trigger to my circuit, circuit works OK on breadboard with clock for trigger. Anyone any ideas? -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways. See http://www.piclist.com/#archives for details.
