Overview
Le UT-S 7 Seg R Click Board™ utilise deux écrans LED SMD ultra-minces DSM7UA20101 7-SEG, fabriqués avec la technologie brevetée qui offre une épaisseur de seulement 2,1 mm. Ces écrans sont pilotés par le MAX6969, un pilote LED intégré à courant constant de Maxim Integrated, qui utilise l'interface série SPI pour la communication et fournit une source d'alimentation stable et constante pour les segments LED.
L'affichage LED à 7 segments est le type d'affichage le plus couramment utilisé pour représenter des valeurs numériques changeantes. Le principe est très simple : sept segments LED sont positionnés dans une certaine forme et en allumant ou en éteignant des segments spécifiques, la forme qui ressemble à un nombre spécifique s'allume. Cette méthode d'affichage des nombres a été utilisée pour la première fois au début du 20e siècle, mais après l'invention de la LED en 1970, c'est la méthode la plus couramment utilisée pour afficher les nombres. Elle utilise une conception assez simple et bon marché avec les chiffres clairement visibles. Qu'il s'agisse d'une horloge sur la table de nuit, d'un panneau d'affichage à l'aéroport, d'une jauge sur une machine, d'un panneau sur un instrument ou d'un affichage sur la pompe de la station-service, les chiffres seront toujours faciles à voir et à lire, même dans l'obscurité.
The UT-S 7 Seg R Click Board™ uses two SMD ultra-thin DSM7UA20101 7-SEG LED displays, made with the patented technology that delivers thickness of only 2.1 mm. Those displays are driven by the MAX6969, a constant current LED integrated driver from Maxim Integrated, which uses the SPI serial interface for communication and delivers steady and constant power source for the LED segments.
How Does The UT-S 7 SEG R Click Board™ Work?
The UT-S 7 Seg R Click Board™ drives two LED seven segment displays with the MAX6969, a LED driver integrated circuit, built to drive this kind of displays. The current through the segments is set as constant, by the resistor connected between the GND and the SET pin of the IC. In this case, it is kept at around 23 mA, as per segment requirements. The click can work with both 3.3V and 5V, selectable by the PWR SEL jumper.
The used displays are SMD type DSM7UA20101 LED thin displays from VCC company, with medium sized (5.08mm/0.20") numerical characters. The characters can perfectly fit to a smaller dimension housing, and emit a red light.
The UT-S 7 Seg R Click Board™ uses the SPI communication lines. The data received via the SPI serial interface is kept inside the internal serial-to-parallel shift register. The reading process happens when the LE (load enable) pin is set to the logic HIGH state. When the LE pin of the click is altered to a logic LOW state, the content of the serial-to-parallel shift register is shifted to the sixteen output latches. The latches are connected to the output pins - from OUT0 to OUT15 respectively, driving the LED segments of the two 7 SEG displays.
Outputs can be additionally turned off and on by the OE pin of the click, routed to the #OE pin of the MAX6969 IC itself. The signal is inverted by the means of the additional NPN transistor, so the logic LOW state of the OE pin will turn off the outputs, regardless of the inverted nature of the #OE pin on the IC itself. The state change on OE pin will not alter the content of the latches, so it can be used to dim the LED segments by applying the PWM signal. For this reason, the OE pin is routed to the PWM pin of the mikroBUS™.
The serial data is also sent out via the SDO pin of the click during the rising edge of the CLK (clock) signal, so daisy chaining of several devices is also possible.
Libraries supported with this click allow for an easy implementation in the code and the included example demonstrates the functionality of the click, using the functions that these libraries provide. The example can also be used as a reference or a starting point for any custom application design.

Software Support
We provide a library for the UT-S 7 Seg R Click Board™ on our LibStock page, as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
Library Description
The library covers all the necessary functions for the UT-S 7 Seg R Click Board™ control.
Key functions
uts7segr_writeData- Generic write function
uts7segr_writeNumDec- Writes decimal number
uts7segr_writeNumHex- Writes hexadecimal number
Example Description
The demo application is composed of three sections:
- System Initialization - Initialize GPIO pins and SPI module for communication with UT 7SEG click.
- Application Initialization - Driver Initialization and turning on the lights by setting PWM pin to logical 1.
- Application Task - Contains four sequences:
- The first sequence shows how to use generic write functions by providing minus and custom.
- The second sequence is a demonstration of the counter using the function for decimal numbers.
- The third sequence is a demonstration of the counter using the function for hexadecimal numbers.
- The fourth sequence is a demonstration of the counter using a function with dot option.
NOTE: Brightness can be adjusted using the MCUs PWM module. In that case, GPIO setup for PWM pin is not necessary.
void applicationTask()

while (counter < 3)
{

uts7segr_lightCtl( 1 );
Delay_ms( 300 );
