I'm using
display.showNumberDec(127,false,3,1);
to display 127, but when I display (for example) 36, the "1" remains visible. How can I tell it to blank a specific digit?
I've used
uint8_t data[] = {0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0};
display.setSegments(data); // blank the display
to emty the entire display, but there's a visible delay, I only want to blank out 1 particular digit.
Post a link to where you got the library from. Please use the chain links icon on the toolbar to make it clickable. Or if you installed it using Library Manger (Sketch > Include Library > Manage Libraries) then say so and state the full name of the library.
Sounds like a bug in the library.
setSegments() allows you to only set a specific digit:
//! @param segments An array of size @ref length containing the raw segment values
//! @param length The number of digits to be modified
//! @param pos The position from which to start the modification (0 - leftmost, 3 - rightmost)
void setSegments(const uint8_t segments[], uint8_t length = 4, uint8_t pos = 0);
So if you wanted to blank the 2nd digit, it should look something like this:
uint8_t data[] = {0x0};
display.setSegments(data, 1, 1); // blank the second digit
Perfect, many thanks
