This is a WIP.
NeoDigito library port to Python and MicroPython, compatible with Raspberry Pi.
The original library was developed for Arduino https://github.com/Inventoteca/NeoDigito
The Python version is compatible with Raspberry Pi computers.
The MicroPython is compatible with Raspberry Pi Pico.
The library must have this features:
- Work with displays of 7, 14 and 16 segments
- Smart use of delimiters (decimal separator and colon)
- Configurable segment order
- Color effects
- Configurable number of LEDs per segment
The displays can have delimiters or not.
Create different pattern sets for different NeoDigito models. Take inspiration from here https://github.com/dmadison/LED-Segment-ASCII
Patterns are grouped in Python tuples (working as constant arrays).
The order of segments can be defined as a string. The string is converted to an array of integers. Then the program apply bit-masking to the patterns to send the bits in the correct order.
For example 'abcdefg' for a 7-segment display
aaa
f b
f b
ggg
e c
e d
ddd
Delimiters can be activated or deactivated with flags (delimiter1_on, delimiter2_on)
Some patterns use the delimiters as part of the characters, but if the display has not delimiters the bits are ignored.
