Hello!
I would like to ask if "Display Type: Cathode" is specified in the "SevenSeg_74HC595" 6 digit component macro. In this case, a common cathode display must be used. If "Display Type: Anode", can a common anode display be used? IC: 74HC595
Thank you very much.

Re: SevenSeg_74HC595 COMPONENT
Hi.
If you select the component help,
Scroll down to Display type.
It will state what displays are suitable.
There are a couple of ways to select help for the component.
1. When the component is on the 2D/3D panel, right-click and select Help.
2. Using the Component Libraries ribbon, search option. When the component of interest is shown, again right-click and select Help.
Another way is to look at the component properties and see if there is an option to select the display type.
You can also find the information out without running Flowcode by looking here, then selecting the component in question.
You can search the page by using the standard ctrl f

Hi Martin!
This is for "Display type": "Set this according to the specification of your hardware display. Common Anode: Pin true -> LED Off, Pin false -> LED On Common Cathode: Pin true -> LED On, Pin false -> LED Off "
Can I use a common anodic display for the 74HC595 or not?
Or: 74HC595: common cathode display. TPIC6C595D: common anode display. Does the "Display Type" in the properties apply to this?
Thank's.

Re: SevenSeg_74HC595 COMPONENT
Hi.
The way I understand it is if you select Anode for the display type, then any common anode display should be suitable.
If you select Cathode for the display type, then any common Cathode display should be suitable.
Note the connections currently are fixed:
QA = SegmentA
QB = SegmentB
QC = SegmentC
QD = SegmentD
QE = SegmentE
QF = SegmentF
QG = SegmentG
QH = SegmentDP
I have entered the above connection in the Wiki help.
The displays in question are just the standard displays that use a single LED for each segment.

If what you are asking, can the TPIC6C595D be used in place of the 74HC595 then the answer is yes.
