Hello,
So I have been working on a project to display data onto seven segment displays. I have already wired up 2 four digit seven segment displays with 2 shift registers 74HC595 and gotten it to display the number that I wanted it to using the library ShiftDisplay.h Horray! however for my project I would like more displays (1 display to me is 2 seven segments connected together controlled by 3 pins clock latch data) somewhere around 6. I am using an arduino mega and I would like to get 6 displays up showing completely different numbers but using the library I am I can't distinguish between multiple different displays. I was wondering if you guys knew of a way to do this or a better way I should do this.
here is an example code of it working for one display
#include <ShiftDisplay.h>
ShiftDisplay display(9,10,8,COMMON_CATHODE,8);
void setup() {
}
void loop() {
display.show(12345678,1000,ALIGN_LEFT);
}
