I need to output data to a LED display. its going to be a single line and +20 charachter display.
What I want to know is, how does the LED display work,
my understanding so far is that for each charachter of the display I would need a BYTE output? b'coz it has 7 segments?
Can someone point me in the right direction, or somewhere I can get these ready to use display.
to send this data out of my PLC (a S7226) do I need to use the outputs directly to the segments or is there a module that can be used as a translator between my PLCs babble and the displays input (RS232?)
