Make sure you run sudo python setup.py install after replaceing the SevenSegment.py to enable individual control over the dots in left colon.
============================
Python library for controlling LED backpack displays such as 8x8 matrices, bar graphs, and 7/14-segment displays on a Raspberry Pi or BeagleBone Black.
Designed specifically to work with the Adafruit LED backpack displays ----> https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-led-backpack/overview
For all platforms (Raspberry Pi and Beaglebone Black) make sure your system is able to compile Python extensions. On Raspbian or Beaglebone Black's Debian/Ubuntu image you can ensure your system is ready by executing:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev
You will also need to make sure the python-smbus and python-imaging library is installed by executing:
sudo apt-get install python-smbus python-imaging
Install the library by downloading with the download link on the right, unzipping the archive, navigating inside the library's directory and executing:
sudo python setup.py install
See example of usage in the examples folder.
###Left Dot Controls I added the left colon dot control to get a little extra function out of a great 7seg display. In the clock.py example left colon dot control is used to indicate AM or PM. In my personal clock I used it to indication Alarm Set & Snooze Enabled/Disabled.
display.set_left_top_dot(True) #Turn Top Left Dot On
display.set_left_bottom_dot(True) #Turn Bottom Left Dot On
