We are quite familiar w/ seven-segment displays. We see them on our alarm clocks, ovens, & microwaves. By adding more segments to each digit you can display more than just numbers! These fourteen-segment digits allow you to display all sorts of numbers, characters, & symbols. W/ Qwiic, simply plug it in & go. No soldering, no figuring out which is SDA or SCL, & no voltage regulation or translation required!</p><P>The kit comes w/ two displays, 1 red & 1 white. Also included in this kit are 10 standoffs & screws for mounting as well as two Qwiic cables to get up & running as fast as possible. W/ a wide variety of Qwiic enabled microcontroller boards available we decided not to include one so you could choose the one that fits best w/ your current project needs. This is the only part you need to supply yourself.</p><p>The SparkFun Alphanumeric Display compatible with Arduino library makes printing strings to the display as easy as calling the print() function. W/ this library, you'll be able to send I2C commands to the VK16K33 LED driver chip to light up segments (including the decimal point or colon) & even scroll your string across the display. You can download the library through the Arduino library manager by searching 'SparkFun Alphanumeric Display' or you can get the GitHub repo as a .zip file & install the library from there.</p><p>The VK16K33 also supports I2C address configuration. Simply close a combination of the address jumpers on the back & you can communicate w/ up to four displays on the same bus. Our slim board design also features detachable standoff holes, vertical Qwiic connectors, & internal mounting holes.</p><p>The SparkFun Qwiic Connect System is an ecosystem of I2C sensors, actuators, shields & cables that make prototyping faster & less prone to error. All Qwiic-enabled boards use a common 1mm pitch, 4-pin JST connector. This reduces the amount of required PCB space, & polarized connections mean you can’t hook it up wrong.
