The ZeroSeg is an easy to use 8-character 7-segment display add-on board for your Raspberry Pi Zero W or any other 40-pin Raspberry Pi model. With the ability to display 8 characters, data such as the time, date, counters, stock prices, sports scores and more can be shown on the ZeroSeg. There are endless possibilities and project uses! The ZeroSeg contains two red (4-character) 7-segment displays and two tactile buttons for controlling the displays, brightness or any other element of your project. The displays are controlled by a MAX7219CNG integrated circuit, which manages each LED segment, requiring very few GPIO pins to run the board. this boards circuit is wired in the exact same way as generic 7-segment modules, allowing the use of existing code and libraries to easily create Pi Zero projects with 8-character displays.AvgManKit Includes: 1x ZeroSeg PCB 1x 40-pin GPIO header 1x MAX7219CNG IC 1x 24-pin IC socket 2x 4-character 7-segment displays 2x Tactile switches 1x 100nF capacitor (labelled 104) 1x 10uF capacitor (labelled 106) 2x 10k resistors (colour bands: brown/black/black/red/brown) 2x 1k resistors (colour bands: brown/black/black/brown/brown) 1x 27k resistor (colour bands: red/violet/black/red/brown) A full code library, including example scripts, is available via GitHub and is quick and easy to download and use.
