Library for nice, scalable digits rendering using any Arduino GFX libraries
YouTube videos:
- very fast rendering even on AVR Arduino
- no bitmap data is necessary - only rendering routines
- each number can have different width, height and segment thickness
- should work with any Arduino graphic library with user defined callbacks for drawLine() and fillRect()
- 3 styles of 7-segment font variation
- extra pseudo 3D look for color displays (style 2c)
- simple fast rectangular and outline styles
- each digit only cleans the necessary segments, so cleaning and refreshing the entire screen is not necessary (important for good performance on high definition LCD displays)
- examples for monochrome HX1230 and color ST7789 IPS
- each style has separate methods/functions to save program memory
- if necessary only 3-4 functions can be used separately (setSize,drawSeg,drawDigit,printNumber) without the library
- special look - multi layer rendering is possible: https://youtu.be/OPq9aBJP-pc
- new 7-segment style #7 where look of segment can be defined using extra parameter (can replace styles #1 and #2)
- styles 1 and 2/2c are now obsolete, use them only if you need lower memory usage, use style 7 instead
- style 7 supports now 2 colors similar to style 2c
- setSize7(50,100,13,6) is equivalent for setSize2(50,100,13)
- setSize7(50,100,13,0) is equivalent for setSize1(50,100,13) but setSize7(50,100,13,2) gives nicer look
- style 4 and 5 are renamed to F (filled) and O (outline) but old names left for compatibility
| Style | Usage | Info |
|---|---|---|
| style 1 | 1576 | |
| style 2 | 1398 | |
| style 2c | 1628 | 2 color version for pseudo 3D look |
| style 3 | 1228 | simple rectangle segments for low memory applications |
| style 4/F | 3060 | filled |
| style 5/O | 5266 | outline |
| style 7 | 1838 | versatile replacement for style 1 and 2/2c |
