I have a Nokia 5110 which is interfaced with a UNO.
Tried the Library from AdaFruit and the demo went fine. So the hardware hook up is fine and nothing is broke ( at as of now )
For the current requirement I need to be able to display the numbers 00 to 99 ( basically a percentage of a parameter ) but would like it fill the screen for better visibility.
I know I can sit and create 100 bit map images for all digits in a array and call them as required. But was just wondering if there is a fast ( and easy ) way to do this...
I am not being lazy . Just don't to re-invent the wheel !!
Rinky Dink has a library by Henning Karlsen which may have large fonts. Failing that, there is a clock demo that had quite large figures by Pawel Kadluczka, but you can probably do better, particularly if you rotate the display.
Rinky Dink. That was not only fast but also interesting. Was looking for something on these lines. Have downloaded the libraries pertaining to 5110 and it does seem to have a Large Number option. In particular I liked the documentation of the function calls. Nice.
It shouldn't be too difficult to design a simple routine to draw seven-segment digits - you only have two types of bar (horizontal in vertical) and you could start simple with rectangular bars, and maybe progress to mitred bars for visual appeal.
