AIYA!!!NOT ENOUGH CURRENT??

Well firstly I would like to say: Currents are crucial!!!!! Don't take it easy or your project will not function! Em.. As you all know I've been setting up my LCD and 7 segment display... Apparently.. Guess what... The 7 segments are working all weird.. By weird, I mean that some of the lights are dimmer than the other, and only one segment, that is the "g" section got so bright, seriously u have to wear glasses! After a long hardwork trying to figure out what could have been wrong at my circuit, I went to internet and.. YIKES!!!

                        What went wrong was: 

1) If u are using the 74HC595, u actually need an IC that is called IC driver to make sure u deliver enough current for the 7 segment display. The ones that are seldom shown to u by blogs or what so ever don't mention this because they use LEDs to displays the lights. (Credit to Mr. Azmi for mentioning this earlier but I took his advice for granted :( )

2) The 7 segments acting up all wired when it is combined with LCD circuit because the LCD also takes up a lot of currents and furthermore, it uses the same 5V from the UNO.

So there u go guys... Actually I have a test at 3 pm, so I'll upload pictures of my ruined 7 segment circuit later this evening. So keep up the good work guys.. Surviving FYP!!! :)
