Interfacing PIC18F4550 with 7-segment display circuit:
The digital counter circuit schematic is shown below where the internal oscillator of PIC18F4550 is used at 8MHz and MCLR pin function is disabled.
The 7-segment display is common anode type.
The PIC18F4550 microcontroller is supplied with 5V at VDD (pin #11 & 32) and VSS (pin #12 & 31) pins (not shown in circuit schematic).
The push button shown in the circuit diagram is used to increment the number printed on the 7-segment display.
