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

ClearSegments
This funtion clears all the individual segments including the decimal point segment. In simulation this sets the colours to the default BGColor component variable.
Parameters
- This macro has no parameters
Return value
- This call does not return a value
ShowSegments
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.
Parameters
- BYTE Segments0
- Segment bits 0=Off 1=On : F/E/D2/D/C/B/A2/A
- BYTE Segments1
- Segment bits 0=Off 1=On : M/L/K/J/I/H/G2/G1
- BYTE DecimalPoint
- Segment bits 0=Off 1=On : DecimalPoint
Return value
- This call does not return a value
ShowCharacter
Allows certain pre-programmed characters to be displayed.
0-9, A-Z, $, [, ], +, -, \, /, *, _, {, }, .
Parameters
- BYTE Character
- 0-9 or A-Z
- BYTE DecimalPoint
- 0=Off, 1=On
Return value
- This call does not return a value
Simulation macro reference
This component does not contain any simulation macros
Property reference
Display Segments
This property is of type Fixed list of ints and can be referenced with the variable name DisplaySegs.
Controls the starburst display type and number of segments available.
Display Type
This property is of type Fixed list of ints and can be referenced with the variable name 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
This property is of type Fixed list of ints and can be referenced with the variable name commonmode.
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
This property is of type True or false and can be referenced with the variable name ShowSegLabels.
Show the identifier lables of the segments overlayed over the component.
Pin A1
This property is of type Single digital pin and can be referenced with the variable name pina1.
Pin connected to the 'A1' segment of the display.
Pin A2
This property is of type Single digital pin and can be referenced with the variable name pina2.
Pin connected to the 'A2' segment of the display.
Pin B
This property is of type Single digital pin and can be referenced with the variable name pinb.
Pin connected to the 'B' segment of the display.
Pin C
This property is of type Single digital pin and can be referenced with the variable name pinc.
Pin connected to the 'C' segment of the display.
Pin D1
This property is of type Single digital pin and can be referenced with the variable name pind1.
Pin connected to the 'D1' segment of the display.
Pin D2
This property is of type Single digital pin and can be referenced with the variable name pind2.
Pin connected to the 'D2' segment of the display.
Pin E
This property is of type Single digital pin and can be referenced with the variable name pine.
Pin connected to the 'E' segment of the display.
Pin F
This property is of type Single digital pin and can be referenced with the variable name pinf.
Pin connected to the 'F' segment of the display.
Pin G1
This property is of type Single digital pin and can be referenced with the variable name ping1.
Pin connected to the 'G1' segment of the display.
Pin G2
This property is of type Single digital pin and can be referenced with the variable name ping2.
Pin connected to the 'G2' segment of the display.
Pin H
This property is of type Single digital pin and can be referenced with the variable name pinh.
Pin connected to the 'H' segment of the display.
Pin I
This property is of type Single digital pin and can be referenced with the variable name pini.
Pin connected to the 'I' segment of the display.
Pin J
This property is of type Single digital pin and can be referenced with the variable name pinj.
Pin connected to the 'J' segment of the display.
Pin K
This property is of type Single digital pin and can be referenced with the variable name pink.
Pin connected to the 'K' segment of the display.
Pin L
This property is of type Single digital pin and can be referenced with the variable name pinl.
Pin connected to the 'L' segment of the display.
Pin M
This property is of type Single digital pin and can be referenced with the variable name pinm.
Pin connected to the 'M' segment of the display.
Pin DP
This property is of type Single digital pin and can be referenced with the variable name pindp.
Pin connected to the decimal point segment of the display.
Common
This property is of type Single digital pin and can be referenced with the variable name common_pin.
Pin connection to the 'common' pin of the display - to allow enable/disable of the whole display.
LED Color
This property is of type Color picker and can be referenced with the variable name FGColor.
Color when an LED is turned on. When turned off, will use a much darker shade of the same hue.
Bezel Color
