Thank you, Ben! Meanwhile, I will stick with Arduino Uno R3 and do some projects with it.
It's good that the business is going well and you have lots of ongoing projects!

Hi Ben,

I was wondering if you have managed to discuss with your colleagues about the Arduino Uno R4 WiFi, as this comes with a ESP32-S3 WiFi module which I would select for a future project. It is an affordable product, and I hope that the Flowcode development team will consider it.

Hi Bijumon,

Nice work!
I will soon order two pieces of MAX6954, from which I will make two development boards - one for Martin and one for me.
At the same time, Martin will work on making the MAX6955 a component in Flowcode, and afterward, the MAX6954.
I will have to solder many wires, but once I ...

Yeah, it's not that fun to work with MAX6955 from the HW perspective.
I have also found that KiCad does not have libraries for 16-segment displays, so they must be created manually.
Another challenge I discovered today is that 14-segment displays use horizontal wiring, whereas 16-segment displays ...

Hi Martin,


I've been looking today over the datasheet of MAX6955 and the MAX6955EVKIT, and they are some tricky stuff to take care of:

- note the wiring from Table 2 (page 8). The more digits you have, the wiring will change.
- on page 37, the wiring for a 16-segment display is given. As you can ...

Yeah, it wasn't cheap - I bought one yesterday for 135 EUR (incl. VAT) and shipped it to Martin.
If you do a quick calculation, you'll find that it has two MAX6955 (50EUR), 8x 14-segment displays (32EUR), so the rest is not a big deal.
I know it's a board that works and saves time during the ...

Hi,

Mikroe has over 2,000 Click boards with various components, of which I have almost 20...
I am a big fan of the boards from Mikroe because I can prototype quickly and use standardized pins in my projects.
Some of my beginner projects have been published in this section.

Is anyone from this ...

Hi Martin,

I figured out how your component works, and I can confirm to the community that it's designed for the TPIC6B595.

Andreas

Martin, are you based in the UK?
I could eventually order one from Mouser and send it to your home address.
After you are done with it, you can either keep it or send it to me (and I will pay for shipping).
I think it would be useful for the whole community if someone like you could create a ...

Hi Martin,

Where have you seen the development board/kit with MAX6954? I have only seen this:

https://www.remelectronics.com/2023/09/13/spi-8-14-with-max6954-display-driver/

It's not that expensive, and I could buy it for you if you want to make a component from it.

LE: I found it, the ...
