Macro reference
|
ClearDigit |
| This funtion clears all the individual segments including the decimal point segment. In simulation this sets the colours to the default BGColor component variable. It's default value is 0xCCCCCC | |
 - VOID
|
Return |
|
|
ShowSegments |
| Allows the individual segments of the display to be controlled. | |
 - BYTE
|
Segments |
| 8-bit Binary value to set the segments, bit0 = segA, bit1 = segB... | |
| - VOID
|
Return |
|
|
ShowDigit |
| Creates the supplied digit on the 7 segment display. Macro takes the digit to display and a boolean representing whether to display the decimal point segment or not. | |
| - BYTE
|
Digit |
| Sets the 7seg display with the appropriate digit supplied | |
| - BYTE
|
DecimalPoint |
| Determines whether decimal point LED is active (True/False) | |
| - VOID
|
Return |

Properties |
|
Display Type |
| Set this property to match your hardware device. Common Anode: Pin true -> LED off, Pin false -> LED on Common Cathods: Pin true -> LED on, Pin false -> LED off | |
|
Show Seg Labels |
| Show the identifier lables of the segments overlayed over the component. | |
|
|
Common Pin |
| When using a single 7-segment display you can keep the common pin active by connecting it to VCC or VSS so no output pin is required. When using multiple 7-seg displays you need the common pin to allow you to multiplex between the displays. | |
|
|
Common Type |
| The state of the output common pin when the 7-segment display is active. Usually a common cathode display uses a low signal and a common anode uses a high signal. If the common pin is routed via a transistor for power amplification then the signal may need to be reversed. | |
|
Connections |
|
pin0 (A) |
| Pin connected to the 'A' degment of the display. | |
|
|
pin1 (B) |
| Pin connected to the 'B' degment of the display. | |
|
|
pin2 (C) |
| Pin connected to the 'C' degment of the display. | |
|
|
pin3 (D) |
| Pin connected to the 'D' degment of the display. | |
|
|
pin4 (E) |

|
|
pin6 (G) |
| Pin connected to the 'G' degment of the display. | |
|
|
pin7 (DP) |
| Pin connected to the decimal pointt of the display. | |
|
|
common |
| Pin connection to the 'common' pin of the display - to allow enable/disable of the whole display. | |
|
|
Colors |
|
LED Color |
| Color when an LED is turned on. When turned off, will use a much darker shade of the same hue. | |
|
|
Bezel Color |
| Color of the plastic package housing the LEDs | |
|
|
Label Color |
| Color of the optional segment name labels. | |
