Seems like a 3.3V board would work, just set the common line to 1.65V (voltage divider between +3.3V and GND). Then you can have the pin output 3.3V (1.65V difference), 0V (-1.65V difference), or float for no change. Unless even 1.65V is too much (use a less-stiff divider, e.g. higher value resistors, to reduce current?). BTW I saw the thumbnail and immediately thought Posy. Very cool to actualize these.

A voltage divider isn’t a stable source, it’ll change the moment you draw power from it, which is why its not recommended for any use besides providing a refrence. It also limits the current quite a bit. Its probably fine for this as these displays don’t seem to draw a lot of power, but its important to keep in mind

Fascinating to see how many other people want to have a custom wall-clock display, with the ability to control it with a micro-controller. I'm seeing a great use case for having a Home-Assistant (or other platforms) wall-display with time and other icons, where they can be set on/off depending on what's needed. Excited to see what consumer-ready products would be made available for a more accessible price, to be used in a similar scope like this.

I don´t think so. It´s more about having some breathing room for printing individual layers to align them properly, the very similar restrictions would be for "standard" silkscreen printing as well. I´m almost thinking that they want to be on the safe side and the actual limit is much smaller than that.

I just had an idea about controlling the individual segments : why not connect the common pin to a 1.65 V reference voltage, and drive the pins with 3.3V logic levels, as such, you get either 1.65 V or -1.65V. For the reference voltage a simple voltage divider (3.3V/2) with low enough resistors to have enough current passing through, making the current consumed by the segments negligible (because it will make the reference fluctuate) or with a regulator able to get (very little) reverse current

Is it possible to make more segments on single display just double output? In this case different groups of segments can operate like different displays, stayed in one display.

Great display tech. Love the fonts. Do you know if the displays are transparent/translucent, so can be have backlighting? Curious as the coloured versions (previous video) have lower contrast, but might have more contrast if backlit. This could make for some interesting applications.

Great displays! And for driving with 5V or 3.3V compatible boards, you only need a couple of resistors - 2 for each segment that form a voltage divider... To create a positive/negative signal, you can use an H-bridge, which is normally used to control DC motors in two directions. It seems to me that with the advent of digital processors we have forgotten the much simpler and cheaper analogue solutions :-).
@upir_upir
@upir_upir 10 ай бұрын
Sure, but a couple of resistors is still 32 resistors..
@De_Swink
@De_Swink 10 ай бұрын
An H-bridge consists of 4 transistors, and also requires a control signal that is supplied by... Software. Transistors are relatively expensive, especially considering you need 56 of them to control two 7 segment displays. That many transistors also require a lot of space, even when you use dedicated H-bridge ICs. A software only solution definitely makes more sense in this case.

To get the 1.5V for the display from Arduino, can't you just use 2 resistors for a resistive divider? I imagine the display uses very little current so you could use quite high resistor values. Would be much simpler and work with anything.

@@upir_upir Why not? I don't see the difference, just use different resistors. The "analogue" outputs on most Arduinos are PWM, it's still 3.3 or 5V, just chopped up, so you'll need appropriate smoothing after. Using resistive dividers would be simpler, hardware and software. Do you get what I'm talking about? It's pretty simple to explain if you need me to.

I thought the DAC on Arduino was a PWM signal so it would still be putting 5v on the display pins. wouldn't you need a capacitor to filter it to the right voltage?
@upir_upir
@upir_upir 10 ай бұрын
The DAC on the (new) Arduino UNO R4 is real DAC, not a PWM. But you are correct that on (the older/original) UNO R3, it´s just PWM and you would need to filter it to get the right voltage.

Have you considered using a 7-segment driver chip? Those tend to take BCD input, which needs fewer pins and can usually work at logic level. I bet you could combine 2 to drive that! It would be interesting to see what the drive circuitry might look like (though admittedly at $2/piece, the arduino isn't a bad idea for low-volume production)

If you were on a 3.3v board, you could use a voltage divider to put the common pin at 1.65v and then set your other pins to 0v and 3.3v as needed. I'd expect 1.65v to be in tolerance since it's just 10% over. Is this something you've tried?

I need to fit 4x 7 segment displays in the size of an American half dollar coin. I might have to go with traditional 7 segment displays as much as I love the idea. The price of custom prints from these guys is expensive as well..
