    The document describes an experiment using the MAX7221 IC to interface with an AVR microcontroller over SPI to control 7-segment displays. The MAX7221 allows controlling up to 8 7-segment LEDs using fewer pins than connecting them directly. It contains an internal decoder, brightness controls, and test mode. The lab tasks involve writing AVR programs to display "EL" and count from 1 to 9 on a double 7-segment display, configuring the AVR as SPI master to continuously send letter "A", and providing snapshots of simulation results.

    MAX7221 Interfacing and AVR Programing using SPI

    Objective: To become familiar with MAX7221 IC and its programming using AVR
    Microcontrollers via SPI protocol.

    MAX7221 IC:
    In many applications you need to connect two or more 7 segment LEDs
    to a microcontroller. For example if you want to connect four 7 segment
    LEDs directly to a microcontroller you need 4x8=32 pins. This is not
    feasible. The MAX 7221 IC is an ideal chip for such applications since
    it supports upto 8 7- segment LEDs. We can connect the MAX 7221 to
    the AVR chip using SPI protocol and control upto 8 7- segment LEDs.
    The MAX7221 contains an internal decoder that can be used to convert
    binary numbers to 7 segment codes. The device includes analog and
    digital brightness control, an 8x8 static RAM that stores each digit, and
    a test mode that forces all LEDs On.

    PORTB &= ~(1<<SS);


    SPDR=cmd;
    while(!(SPSR & (1<<SPIF)));
    SPDR= data;
    while(!(SPSR & (1<<SPIF)));
    PORTB |=(1<<SS);
    }
    int main(void)
    {
    DDRB= (1<<MOSI)|(1<<SCK)|(1<<SS);
    SPCR=(1<<SPE)|(1<<MSTR)|(1<<SPR0);
    execute(0x09,0b00000011); // enable decoding for digits 1,2
    execute(0x0B,0x02); // scan two 7 segments
    execute(0x0C,0x01); // turn on the chip
    execute(0x01,0x07); // display 7 on digit 1
    execute(0x02,0x05); // display 5 on digit 2
    while (1);
    return 0;
    }

    Lab Tasks:
     Write an AVR program, to display EL on the two digits of the 7-segment.
     Simulate an AVR program on Proteus which shows counting from 1 to 9.
     Configure AVR in master mode sending letter A continuously and observe the packet on SPI
    Debugger.
     Attach the snapshots for the simulation results of all the tasks.
