Community Device for 14 Segment Displays with 4 digits using HT16K33 driver

The displays are connected via I2C. If more than 1 display should be used, set each display to another I2C address. Up to 8 addresses can be choosen.

Define for each display one config on the board and set the I2C address accordingly.

Available messageID's are:

  • 1 = Show data on the display. Decimal point is considered automatically, so must be part of the message
  • 2 = Set brigthness, values can be from 0 to 15

All Boards are supported, but the stepper support for the ProMicro is deactivated due to not sufficient Flash memory.

Installation
