7 seg displays #485

Thanks, I did a search for 'seg' on the issues too and didnt find any. |
I'm not sure about Other than that, sounds good. Do various 7seg displays tend to work the same way? |
Yeah, that was my gut reaction too - glad to see I wasn't alone ;-) But to maintain ease-of-use, we'd also want some kind of P.S. Another approach would be to treat SevenSegmentDisplay as a |
Yeah I thought it was a bit weird, one of the reasons I asked for comment. Less weird would be an 8 bit field, represented as 0 - 1. It should definitely have a 'friendly' method for showing a number/character how about |
It might make sense to have |
Thought about it a bit: Inheriting LEDCollection will bring CompositeOutputDevice and value will be a tuple of booleans. A couple of methods:
which would obviously set the tuple in the .value property |
Just having had another look at the docs, I wonder if it would make more sense to just inherit from LEDBoard, rather than LEDCollection? And then add the I'll try to have a more in-depth look at #357 this evening, while these ideas are fresh in my mind. |
I vote for hex too. On 17 Oct 2016 17:10, "Andrew Scheller" notifications@github.com wrote:

Looking good... Some comments: (apologies if there's too much here!)
For consistency, it should remain as
That's easy: def display_hex(self, hexnumber):
self.display(hex(hexnumber)[2:])
There's part of me that still wonders if that's the best approach (see my comments in #357 (comment) ) as that way it'd create a namedtuple, so you could do sevenseg.b.on() in addition to sevenseg[1].on() |
@lurch Thanks for the comments, they are really useful. |

Im going to be using a 7 seg display in an upcoming project, so I thought it was time it was added to gpiozero, can I get some comments on my thinking so far:
Next step would be to create a multi digit 7 segment display. The way these work (generally) is that in addition to the 8 pins for the display they have additional pins to state which digit should be turned on. To make each digit show a different number you would use plexing to flash individual digits to give the appearance of a multi digit display.
