Hi, I just came from the website looking under the devices to see if the 4-digit Seven Segment LED display is supported.
Sadly it is not supported yet, however I read that we can post here to ask if there's a way you can make a driver for it that would be awesome.
You can see below how the display looks and I also copied the specs and features from the website so you don't have to search for it...
I want to make it as easy as possible for you so I looked for the documentation, the scheme, datasheet and the firmware, you can download the PDF files directly via the links below:
With this 4 digit Seven segment display module, you can easily add a 4 number LED readout to your projects. Useful for making a clock, timer, temperature readout, etc.
Features
- Serial 4 Digit Display Module
- Uses just 2 pins to communicate with your microcontroller
- 4 M2 Mounting Holes for easy mounting in your projects
- Seven Segment Displays with the : in between
- pinout: GND = 0 V
- VCC = 5 V or 3.3 V
- DIO = Data Input from microcontroller
- CLK = Clock signal from microcontroller
Specifications
operating voltage: 3.3 V or 5 V
- LED colour: red
- Driver Chipset: TM1637
I believe this display can be very useful and it could work in conjunction with other devices already supported in WebIOPi such as the temperature sensor showing the temperatureon this display, or the analog to digital converter to measure voltage, current and display those values...
You can even calculate Watts and show that on this display, these are some of the things I want to use this display for and I think this would be the ideal platform to make this much
more user friendly and easier to use.
I hope that you find this post helpful and you now see the value to support this display in WebIOPi soon.
Best regards,
Ricardo Penders
