x7segment's Introduction

X7Segment Display

X7 Segment displays are RGB LED based 7 Segment boards that you can chain together and control via any micro-controller just like you would control a strip of RGB LEDs. They just require VCC, GND and Data from a GPIO.

You can purchase these displays pre-built on tindie

I have released this project as open source, so if you would like you make your own for personal use, you can download the CAD files from this repo.

The hardware has been released as open source under the CERN license. Please review the license before using these files in your own projects to understand your obligations.

The software has been released as open source under the MIT license. Please review the license before using these files in your own projects to understand your obligations.

X7Segment Display Library

An API that lets you display numbers and letters on X7Segment RGB LED displays that are available from tindie
