 		 #161141 - I don't see how
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I don't really understand how the transistors work, but how I think it works is that if we put voltage on the base and voltage on the collector, then if we allow the emitter to connect to ground then power will flow through the collector as well as through the base. I still don't see how that would help.

Help with 4 digit LED 7 segment display            01/01/70 00:00      
   common cathode            01/01/70 00:00      
   Maybe it is a standard display            01/01/70 00:00      
      It's standard, but I can't find a spec sheet            01/01/70 00:00      
         an old-time part, perhaps?            01/01/70 00:00      
            The 8650 is a standard alarm clock IC            01/01/70 00:00      
               add up the forward voltages, adjust the resistors ...            01/01/70 00:00

                     It's all up to you ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Too soon to start worrying about voltage            01/01/70 00:00      
                           Be careful ... you only have one of these ... right?            01/01/70 00:00      
                     beware            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Interesting concept            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Don't think so            01/01/70 00:00      
                           make a FULL schematic            01/01/70 00:00      
                              Of course            01/01/70 00:00      
                           Careful, now!            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Diagram mis-labeled, sorry            01/01/70 00:00      
   Please consider that....            01/01/70 00:00

         'Ohm" it out            01/01/70 00:00      
            I don't see how            01/01/70 00:00      
               then forget transistors            01/01/70 00:00

            Thanks            01/01/70 00:00      
   It works like this....            01/01/70 00:00      
      Vbe, not Vce            01/01/70 00:00      
         that was probably I who did that ... and you're right            01/01/70 00:00      
            Well...            01/01/70 00:00      
               take a close look            01/01/70 00:00      
               I doubt it            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Possibly a radio section too            01/01/70 00:00

                     That C### is a capacitor number, I think            01/01/70 00:00      
      How about this?            01/01/70 00:00      
         use PNP at the high side            01/01/70 00:00      
         ...And get rid of the extra resistor in the...            01/01/70 00:00
