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