Simple Counter using 7 segment LED with 8051 microcontroller

Hello friends, Welcome back! In this post, I want to share with you a simple experiment that I did today. Basically this experiment uses the concept of interfacing of 7 segment LED with 8051 microcontroller. A simple counter has been made using 8051, which will display numbers from ‘0’ to ‘9’, one by one with a delay of few seconds.

The connections made in this circuit are shown in the block diagram:

Please note that the 7 segment LED is connected in common anode mode, that means all 7 anodes of leds are connected together and should be connected to +5V and a particular LED will turn on when ‘Ground’ is applied to its terminal, which in this case is done using microcontroller.

The assembly language program for this experiment is given below:

The program is self explanatory and is well commented. If you find any difficulty with this, then do comment below.
