Raspberry Pi Pico: Converting floating point numbers to be used with 8-segment displays: MicroPython
In this video I convert the numbers the temperature probe creates to 3 one digit integers that can be used by the 8-Segment display.
In the next video in the series I will start working on getting the temperature from the probe and converting it and using it on the display modules.
FYI At one point I said 75HC195 instead of 74HC595
