Hi all, I'm making my first clock that has to be set by the user instead of self setting. And the leading digit needsl to be blanked, as the woman it is for doesn't want to see the zero.
Anyway, I am using the blanking feature of the 74141 for the first time. It seems that some of them don't blank as well as others and to get them all to blank I have to dial the anode voltage down or lower tje pwm duty cycle which prevents max brightness during the day. One of the 74141s blanks well and so does a Russian equivalent that i have. So, am i doing something wrong and is there anything I can do about it? I suppose I can cherry pick through my stash for chips that blank well. Thanks!
