C code for display scannimg

Can someone please suggest something for scanning a 6 digit 7 segment display? How can i assign a timer for doing the same? i m using msc1210y5.

  • BTW, I, personally believe that multiplexing of LEDs most often is totally misapplied. A string of shift registers (most can sink 20mA) will be cheaper, simpler and better when the segment current (as most often) is less than what a standard shift register can handle.

    With multiplexing you get currents that need to be switched by high end transistors (must carry 7 LEDs current) and who knows what else you need to add - some savings
