I am having a problem with the inbuilt single digit 7 segment LED display parts that come with Fritzing. None of them have the pins in the order that the ones I have bought are in. Basically, I need them in two rows at the top and the bottom of the display as shown in the spec at the following link 7 Segment Dispay spec
There isn’t sufficient mechanical information (nor a part number to find such information) that I could see in a quick search. Modifying a part is relatively easy (at least for me) but sufficient information is needed.
If the poster can’t find the datasheet I have some very old ones - maybe 80s - that I can measure that might be the same size. Then again the poster can measure his.
I’d love to amend the part myself in the parts editor - is there a decent up to date tutorial that you know of which would help me to understand how to do that ? Every tutorial I have found seems to be for the old parts editor rather than the new one.
Or you could do the sensible thing and enter “led display” in the parts search field, press enter and select the common cathode 13mm size display from the list displayed, which appears to be the correct footprint and pin out without you doing anything.
Er - I’m feeling kinda dumb now. I had used the search and just ignored that one because the icon showed the pins at the side
Many apologies guys - thanks for the help though. And I can look forward to using those tutorials to learn about the parts editor.
