# ZeroSeg
|
|
|
|
The ZeroSeg is an easy to use 8-character 7-segment display add-on board for your Raspberry Pi Zero or any other 40-pin Raspberry Pi model.
|
|
|
|
ZeroSeg has the ability to display 8 characters, data such as the time, date, counters, stock prices, sports scores and more making it very
|
|
usefull for projects of all shapes and sizes.
|
|
|
|
The displays are controlled by a MAX7219CNG integrated circuit, which manages each LED segment, requiring very few GPIO pins to run the board. this boards circuit is wired in the exact same way as generic 7-segment modules, allowing the use of existing code and libraries to easily create Pi Zero projects with 8-character displays.
|
|
|
|
|
|
To install first enable SPI and update your pi then:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt-get install git build-essential python-dev python-pip
|
|
git clone https://github.com/AverageManVsPi/ZeroSeg.git
|
|
cd zeroseg
|
|
sudo python setup.py install
|
|
sudo pip install spidev
|
|
```
