LED moving message diaply using PIC16f628 CD4017 and 74LS595

SECOND MMD PROJECT
LED moving message diaply using PIC16f628 CD4017 and 74LS595
Introduction of MMD Project-2:The PIC microcontroller PIC16f628 is used the main processor in the MMD. The dif
ference from the previous moving message diaply and this is method for scaning t
he rows. In previous MMD a decoder 74LS138 was used to scan the rows. But in thi
s project, i have used CD4017 for row scanning instead of use of any decoder.
Components of the LED moving message display:LED matrix = 88 LED matrix 8 Nos,
MCU = PIC16f628
Shift registers = 74LS595 8Nos
crystal = 4MHz with 22 pF capacitors.
and other basic components like reset switches and regulated power suplly of 5V
which have enough current baring for this project like 1Amp max.
The circuit diagram of the 8 x 8 x 8 LED matrix moving message display using PIC
microcontroller is as under:-
