7 Segment display for Hornet UFC

[MrLouisMC]

Hello,

I've been working on a simpit for the F18C and understand the basic principles of how to connect everything with Arduino but recently I have some problems getting the 7 segment displays to work for my UFC. As a test I'd like to show the first row of 4 characters on my 4 7 segment displays. When I try this however the characters do not display correctly, this is clearly a fault in my coding (a simple counter works without DCS-bios) but I can't figure out where it went wrong.

I am using an Arduino NANO with DCS-BIOS.

 

Code:

#define DCSBIOS_IRQ_SERIAL
#include "DcsBios.h"
#include "SevSeg.h"
SevSeg sevseg; //Instantiate a seven segment controller object

void onUfcComm1DisplayChange(char* newValue) 
{
  sevseg.setChars(newValue);
}
DcsBios::StringBuffer<2> ufcComm1DisplayBuffer(0x7424, onUfcComm1DisplayChange);

void setup() 
{
  byte numDigits = 4;
  byte digitPins[] = {2, 3, 4, 5};
  byte segmentPins[] = {6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13};
  bool resistorsOnSegments = false; // 'false' means resistors are on digit pins
  byte hardwareConfig = COMMON_ANODE; // See README.md for options
  bool updateWithDelays = false; // Default 'false' is Recommended
  bool leadingZeros = true; // Use 'true' if you'd like to keep the leading zeros
  bool disableDecPoint = false; // Use 'true' if your decimal point doesn't exist or isn't connected
  sevseg.begin(hardwareConfig, numDigits, digitPins, segmentPins, resistorsOnSegments,
  updateWithDelays, leadingZeros, disableDecPoint);
  DcsBios::setup();
}

void loop() 
{
  sevseg.refreshDisplay(); // Must run repeatedly
  DcsBios::loop();
}

Not sure if it's the case, but I would have thought the F18 displays send ASCII characters from DCS because some of them are text.

This would mean the zero would be sent from DCS as 40 in decimal, one is 41 and so on.

I can't see if your code accounts for that.
