i need Arduino Library for this shield.
thanks.

Yes you are right, but when there is a library that is easy to program.katela wrote:You don't really need a specialized library to use that shield.
You can read its datasheet to find out where each device is connected to and use normal Flowcode components and icons to control it. A shield is just making simpler to connect devices to arduino pins, but the underlying connections are still the same even without a shield.

The shield looks interesting.
I can make an example project to drive the shield or maybe even a component. Which microcontroller device are you using? i.e. Is it an Arduino Uno or a different device? This will allow me to correctly pre-configure the various component pins.
The only information I have currently found on the board is here.

If you have any better links to information e.g. a schematic then that would be helpful.
thanks to much.Benj wrote:Hello,
Without actually seeing a schematic I can only go off the library code and it looks like there is some sort of buffer IC that drives the 7-seg displays.
Here is a quick example that simulates and should also hopefully drive the hardware.

Let us know how you get on. The board looks quite well suited to create a component to drive it.
