Re: I2C Wire Lenght for 7 digit display

Re: Wire external 7 digit display

I found the manual on the OCCS web site and it has cleared up most of what I need so disregard as the above for the four displays is wrong. Looks like you daisy chain them. The Wiki could be a little clearer. No need for a response.

Out as DIN

Since the Output of a Out is 5 vdc, can you use it to asset a DIN?
