Hello,

As part of my final year project i'm creating a scoring system based on the 8051 microcontroller. However as part of the design i'm creating seperate seven segment displays that represent the place values of the players score. i.e a player has 122 points 1 display will show the 1 next display will show the 2 and the last will display the final 2.

The problem i'm having is seperating the data into the seperate displays. I have thought about when the players score is entered it points to a place in memory that has the bit pattern to send to the displays but this would create a rather big program so i think there maybe a more efficent alternative.

If anyone has any ideas it would be most appreciated
