Hello everyone,

I am making a TCAS panel for the MDG 737 using a MAX7219 chip for the 7 segment display of transponder code.

The display is working using the offset 0x0354 int 2 Bytes but if I have a code with the 1st digit is zero i.e. 0156 then the display becomes 1560. I am sure this is a simple fix but as always reaching out to anyone that's had this problem please.

Regards,

Steve

Hi

Simply enable the "Left Padding" Function. With Typ "0"

Then the number "0156" that is mathematical 156 will be shown again as "0156 " cause MF fill up empty diggits (Left) with Zeros.

At the moment you have Left Padding OFF Typ "0" means it fill with Zeros to the Right.... so 156 is shown as "1560"

E.g. a 5 would be shown then as 0005 or 5000

Good Luck !
