An API that lets you display numbers and letters on Neo7Segment RGB LED displays that are available from tindie, or that can be constructed via strips of Neopixel LEDs.

Neo7Segment Display Library

An API that lets you display numbers and letters on Neo7Segment RGB LED displays that are available from tindie

You can find the Open Source hardware PCB design and Gerber files here

Installing and Use

The downloaded code should be added to your arduino IDE libraries folder, and the library requires the Adafruit NeoPixel library for it to function.

To include the Neo7Segment library in your project:

#include <Neo7Segment.h>

You can then initialise the display with the following line that includes the number of Neo7Segment digits and the GPIO to control them:

Neo7Segment disp( 5, 4 );

You then start the display with the bebin method, passing the brightness:

disp.Begin(20);

The you simply pass the display the String you would like displayed and a color:

disp.DisplayText( "1234", disp.Color( 255,0,0) );

I love making and designing projects but sharing open source projects takes a lot of thought and time. I do it because I think it’s important to share knowledge and give back to the community like many have done before me.

If you find this project useful or want to see more open source projects like it, please consider a donation to say thanks!
