Writing to the custom digit
mikeboich opened this issue · comments
I couldn't see how to display the 11th digit (decimal point). (I realize that write_float does it, but I wanted to do it for purposes other than writing a float value to the display.)
The write_digit routine has a range check for the number argument (line 284: If(num<10)).
If that test is changed to: if(num<10 || num==255), then the write_digit routine can be used light up the decimal point.
I'm a little bit of a Git novice, and not sure how you handle source code changes for this library, so I'm just posting them as comments here. Let me know if you prefer something different!
Sorry for the late reply Mike! This issue has been resolved in Lixie_II ver. 1.3.1 as detailed in the release log:
https://github.com/connornishijima/Lixie_II/releases/tag/1.3.1
Each Lixie II contains a special 11th pane, that is a decimal point by default but can be replaced by the user with any custom engravings on whatever 3mm materials they'd like.
Now, users can implicitly or explicitly control these "special panes" using easy functions detailed in the new "special_panes" example included with the Lixie_II library!
