Starburst Display component

Starburst 14 or 16 segment display modelled after a standard 14mm high unit. LED colour can be changed in properties.

Version information

Library Version, Component Version, Date, Author, Info
6, 6.0, 14-10-24, MW, Reduced Complex component as out of bounds
6, 6.0, 14-10-24, MW, Changed the look to reflect a real component

Detailed description

No detailed description exists yet for this component

Examples

Example program showing how to use the starburst display component to display alphanumeric ASCII characters. Starburst Test Example program showing how to multiplex between several starburst displays. Takes an ADC reading and displays the reading in decimal using 4 starburst display components. Starburst Multi Example program showing how to multiplex between several starburst displays. Takes an ADC reading and displays the reading in hexadecimal using 4 starburst display components. Starburst Multi Hex

Property reference

Properties
Display Segments
Controls the starburst display type and number of segments available.  
Display Type
Set this property to match your hardware device. Common Anode: Common Pin High, Segment Pin Low = LED On Common Cathode: Common Pin Low, Segment Pin High = LED On 
Common Mode
Controls if the display will be multiplexed or always on. Multplexed uses the common pin to switch a individual display on or off allowing for multiple displays. Always on removes the common pin assuming you are only using a single starburst display. 
Show Seg Labels
Show the identifier lables of the segments overlayed over the component. 
Connections
Pin A
Pin connected to the 'A' segment of the display. 
Pin B
Pin connected to the 'B' segment of the display. 
Pin C
Pin connected to the 'C' segment of the display. 
Pin D
Pin connected to the 'D' segment of the display. 
Pin E
Pin connected to the 'E' segment of the display. 
Pin F
Pin connected to the 'F' segment of the display. 
Pin G1
