Not compatible with AlfaZeta 7-segment, but...
05/21/2019 at 14:56 • 0 commentsThese large AlfaZeta 7-segment flip displays do look similar to the ones I had been using, but turns you control the AlfaZeta ones with only two wires and reverse the polarity of them to get them to flip. Unfortunately, this makes the standard boards created here incompatible with them. I've got some thoughts on how to make it work as well, but going to require a different PCB layout. You should check out Rachel's video of how she got these working with a relays.

CircuitPython library
01/28/2019 at 23:37 • 0 commentsI've started to play around with CircuitPython and figured it would be easy to port this library over, so I've now added that to the Github Sig7Seg-i2c-mpy repo. You can grab the source and examples, or the pre-built mpy file if you just need the library. Only used this on a Trinket M0 so far, but will try to make sure everything works from a MicroPython ESP8266 as well (it should, just might need a few more Adafruit libraries pushed to it). Welcome any feedback from those of you that have used CircuitPython more than I have.
