Appearance
Behavior
The 7-segment display contains 7 LEDs arranged in the form of a digit and one LED at the bottom right, which is used as a dot. The LEDs light up depending on the signals applied to the inputs. If a 0 is present, the LEDs are drawn in the dark representation of the selected light color. If a 1 is present, the bright representation of the light color is used.
The 7-segment display is available in three different sizes. When using the largest size, you can choose whether the pins are available as a group or individually.
