Hi. I'm working on a project to count the number of interruptions per second. I found this frequency counter schematic and modified the PIC program. Mainly the code counts the number of "1s" on RB0, convert it into decimal, then shows it on the common cathode ssd. The problem I have is showing the number of interruptions in digits because it is supposed to show 1s in 150us, then 10s in 150us, then 100s 150us after, etc... but it only refreshes all seven segment display at the same time. So I can see digit, only the display turned on.
Here is my code and schematic.

I added 330ohm resistors on every segment. Thanks for any help!
