OpenSegment Serial Display (Yellow) (COM-11645)
OpenSegment is a ATmega328 based backpack for larger 7-segment displays. The ATmega receives data over digital interfaces (such as TWI, UART, SPI and buttons) and does all the PWM and upkeep of the display.
Larger 7-segment displays pull more power than a microcontroller is able to drive directly. OpenSegment has 8 PNP and 4 NPN transistors in order to drive the segments at their maximum brightness.
