2 USB 7-Segment Numeric Display
3 =============================
5 Manufactured by Delcom Engineering
11 Both the 6 character and 8 character displays have PRODUCT_ID,
12 and according to Delcom Engineering no queryable information
13 can be obtained from the device to tell them apart.
17 By default, the driver assumes the display is only 6 characters
18 The mode for 6 characters is:
22 For the 8 character display:
26 The device can accept "text" either in raw, hex, or ascii textmode.
27 raw controls each segment manually,
28 hex expects a value between 0-15 per character,
29 ascii expects a value between '0'-'9' and 'A'-'F'.
34 1. Turn on the device:
35 echo 1 > /sys/bus/usb/.../powered
36 2. Set the device's mode:
37 echo $mode_msb > /sys/bus/usb/.../mode_msb
38 echo $mode_lsb > /sys/bus/usb/.../mode_lsb
40 echo $textmode > /sys/bus/usb/.../textmode
41 4. set the text (for example):
42 echo "123ABC" > /sys/bus/usb/.../text (ascii)
43 echo "A1B2" > /sys/bus/usb/.../text (ascii)
44 echo -ne "\x01\x02\x03" > /sys/bus/usb/.../text (hex)
45 5. Set the decimal places.
46 The device has either 6 or 8 decimal points.
47 to set the nth decimal place calculate 10 ** n
48 and echo it in to /sys/bus/usb/.../decimals
49 To set multiple decimals points sum up each power.
50 For example, to set the 0th and 3rd decimal place
51 echo 1001 > /sys/bus/usb/.../decimals
