Things gets a little bit more complicated when we want to have more than one 7-segment display and each one will show a different number. Normally, we would need 8 pins for each one (7 for seven segments and one for DP), so a total of 16 pins are required for two 7-segment display, right? No, because in that way, if we wanted to have 6 digits (for a frequency meter for example) we would need 48 pins! Instead, we will make a trick, a trick with the eye. The catch is that the human eye does not operate non-stop all the time. Instead, it takes 10 ‘photos’ each second. Between those photos, the brain will keep the last photo taken active, something like a ‘latch’. We will take advantage of this characteristic of human eye in this project. This trick or technology is called time sharing. Using this technology, we need only 10 pins of the microcontroller to display from 00 to 99 in two 7-segment display.

In this project, we will learn How to display from 00 to 99 in two common anode 7-segment displays with AVR ATmega16 microcontroller. The two 7-segments are connected to the AVR ATmega16 microcontroller using multiplexing technology to save six I/O pins of AVR ATmega16 microcontroller. For detail see the circuit diagram. The microcontroller selects one 7-segment at a time to display one digit of the two digit number. But, the speed at which the microcontroller selects the 7-segment to display the digits is very fast. At this speed, the human eye cannot detect that; at any instant of time only one 7-segment is displaying one digit of the number and the other 7-segment is not displaying anything. The microcontroller displays the numbers from 00 to 99 in the two 7-segment displays and the microcontroller uses its compare match interrupt of Timer Counter feature to give a time delay between two consecutive numbers (delay functions cannot be used to give time delay between two consecutive numbers). When the display reaches 99, it will restart the display from 00 and the above process continues forever.

      you have done a good job but did not provided any C code of it. because main logic is there how to select a segment at a time.how to display a two digit number.
