SevenSegControl Library

The SevenSegControl library allows easy control of multiplexed 7-segment LED displays using Arduino. It supports displays with 1 to 4 digits and enables specifying the update frequency for refreshing the display to minimize flickering.

Features

• Support for common cathode and common anode 7-segment displays.
• Dynamic adjustment of the display update frequency.
• Support for displaying integers across multiple digits.
• Easy to use with a straightforward interface.

Installation

To install this library, download the ZIP archive and extract it to the "libraries" folder in your Arduino sketchbook directory. Then restart the Arduino IDE if it was open.

Usage

Here's a simple example to get you started:

#include <SevenSegControl.h>

// Define the pins for the segments and digits
int segmentPins[] = {A, B, C, D, E, F, G}; // Update these with your actual pins
int digitPins[] = {1, 2, 3, 4}; // Update these with your actual pins

// Initialize the display (segmentPins, digitPins, number of digits, update frequency)
SevenSegControl display(segmentPins, digitPins, 4, 60.0);

void setup() {
  // Your setup code here
}

void loop() {
  // Display the number 1234
  display.displayNumber(1234);
  delay(1000); // Just for testing, adjust as needed
}

API Reference

• SevenSegControl(int* digitPins, int* segmentPins, int numDigits, float updateFrequency): Constructor to initialize the display.
• void displayNumber(int number): Displays the specified integer number on the 7-segment display.
• void clean(): Clears the display.
• More details can be found in the header file SevenSegControl.h.
