<^< Set up the Equipment | Course Index | Using a Single digit >^>

The 7-segment display is a basic numeric display that uses 7 Light Emitting Diode (LED) bars arranged in a way that can be used show the numbers 0 - 9. (actually 8 segments if you count the decimal point, but the generic name is '7-segment display'.)

A quad seven segment display is for E-blocks is available. It contains four separate displays housed though you can use just a single 7-segment display should you wish. The component uses two E-blocks ports: one for the Anodes (4 lines, one for each 7-segment display) and one for the cathodes (8 lines, one for each segment).

Flowcode has components for both a quad 7-segment display, and for a single 7-segment display.
