hi
how can i use multi function shield in arduino.



i need Arduino Library for this shield.

thanks.

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.

Yes you are right, but when there is a library that is easy to program.
Keys and LED are easy to deal with and programmed as you said, but the seven-SEG need a library to make it easier to program>

can you tell me what is the correct components for the 7 segment in flowcode v8, for the arduino multi function shield.

thanks

Hello,

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.

I use Arduino Uno, and I need to be programmed by Flowcode program.
Can you program me an example, a counter of 1 to 10, using a flowcode program.

Thanks for help
can you make an example, to write a number ten, in the seven-sagment in arduino multi function shield.

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.

thanks to much.
