Hello,
Sometimes it's necessary to use a rotary encoder to enter fairly large numbers. Although acceleration helps, when the numbers get past 1000, it still takes forever. I've seen a feature (on the Nord Modular) where the values can be incremented or decremented faster if the rotary encoder's switch is pressed while turning the encoder. This would be a nice new feature to have.

Here's a hack of ClickEncoder.php, just to illustrate my request:

if (val < 0) {
  r -= 1 + accel;
  if(button == Held) r -= 100;
}
else if (val > 0) {
  r += 1 + accel;
  if(button == Held) r += 100;
}

Thanks for the great library,
Bret

This library is awesome, I have used it in the past but its hard to reserve 12 pins in an Arduino project for a display when you have a limit of 20, if possible could you add the ability to use a single shift register for the segment pins? I have been having trouble finding something to do this.

Thank you

There is an extra segment being mapped in the cap "P". In SevSeg.h:

0b1101111, // 80 'P'

Should be changed to:

0b1100111, // 80 'P'

On line 39 of SevSeg.h this prog_unit8_t typedef is deprecated. Tested on Arduino IDE 1.6.0.

Fixed the issue by putting this line aboe

typedef uint8_t PROGMEM prog_uint8_t;

Was doing the bubble display hookup guide.

Thanks!

Hello

I'm working on a project using four large 7-segment displays, these displays requires 22V, and I use 4 MOSFET's on the plus side, an a 8 bit darlignton array at the ground side of the displays.

This setup requires that both the display pin, and the segment pin both need to be high.

Is it possible to add one new mode to the library, one that sets both display pin and segment pin to high when they are active?

On bubble display:

if i try:
myDisplay.DisplayString('toto', 4);

it light on DP on digit 3 not on the 4th
work well for 1,2,3
regards

It seems they are nº 9480, nº 9481, nº 9482 and nº 9483 , but it isn't clear
In fact, in their respective product page this library isn't even mentioned.
Thanks

I generated a document for the library using simulation which can be used as a test or as a documentation: http://ponty.github.com/SevSeg/

It can be generated with one command (paver all), but a lot of tools are involved in the process, and I only tested it on linux.

The code is on my docgen (https://github.com/ponty/SevSeg/tree/docgen) branch.
