FeatherWing 14 Segment Alphanumeric Programming Issue

Post by OhmMuhGawd »

I got my featherwing 14 segment display soldered up and attached it to my Feather S2. Everything works great when I run the "quadalphanum" example code. I can even go into the serial plotter and type the word I want displayed and it will display it correctly.

When I upload the code to the Feather S2 it does not save the word I want to display, it just runs the "quadalphanum" sequence again.

I went through and adjusted the individual characters as shown on the instructions page using alpha4.writeDigitAscii(0, 'A'), but that seems to have no effect.

I'm sure this is a very simple coding issue as I am what is commonly referred to as a "nÜb". My goal is to have a single four letter word displayed whenever the board is plugged into a power source. Help?

Are you using the Unexpected Maker FeatherS2 (product 4769 https://www.adafruit.com/product/4769), or the Adafruit Feather ESP32-S2 (product 5000 https://www.adafruit.com/product/5000)?

They are different products and use different names for the pins.

Figured it out, removed the code involving the serial input. Thanks gang!
