Get More Than Expected Out Of Your SparkFun Alphanumeric Displays
Alphanumeric displays are a great way to share information, give your project more illumination, and catch the eye. But they may be even more versatile than you even imagined.
We all know that 7-segment displays like these are a great way to share numeric information in a project. But often you’ll find yourself needing to display numbers and letters, and that’s where our Alphanumeric Displays come in.
Just because they have twice as many segments as our 7-segment displays doesn’t mean they’re twice as difficult to work with. In fact, with some help from our libraries, they’re actually really simple to get up and running. And naturally, we have a tutorial to help get you going!
Worried that your alphanumeric displays might be limited to words or numbers of only four characters? Not a problem, as you can link up to four of our Qwiic Alphanumeric sensors. Our tutorial will walk you through just how easy it is to do!
