Movie Predator Gauntlet Countdown Timer

[Big_Bad_Harv]

For an extra credit side project, my lab partner and I were trying to create a circuit in Multisim of the gauntlet countdown timer from the movie Predator. Anyone done this before? Or anyone know how to do this?

Hello Big_Bad_Harv :

Well, one possible way is to program a matrix of LEDs.

There is no direct component that can actually display the same signs already program in the database of Multisim.

Thanks JKarma. Would you happen to know how I would get one counter to stop when it gets to 0 then the next one starts?

Hello Big_Bad_Harv: 

Well, this could be accomplished using combinational logic, this is the more suitable option since there is no detail in how you are counting (which specific simulated hardware).

Remember to use wisely the electrical signals that control the behavior of the counter, sometimes with a simple nand (logic gate) could be more than enough to solve a complicated issue.

I will try and work my way through it. I'm new to multisim so it'll take a while. Thank you for the feedback.

Not much help here, I know, but as a Predator tragic I'd love to see this in action when it's complete! Keep us updated on how this works out 😄

Thanks Cyberergy. I'll post whatever I come up with as soon as it's done.

So far this is what I've come up with using Circuitmaker. I can't seem to find the components I need to complete it using Multisim.
