Reads out a 7-segment LCD display and sends the value via serial.

How to port another display?

Analyse the display pins. You can use the ProMicro as a logic analyzer, to find the relevant segment pins and the common pins.

You can use the information provided here: https://lowpowerlab.com/forum/projects/moteino-kitchen-scale/

To use the Pro Micro together with PulseView you can use this repository: https://github.com/gillham/logic_analyzer

possible improvements

  • error handlich of the serial connection. (If screen is kill in operation. The microcontroller needs a restart to reset the serial connection)
  • handle all 4 digits by the print_digit() function.
