Hi again all. Im still in the process of finishing my full build MCP. I have a problem with setting the 7 segment displays i have them link together making sure all the out sections go into the in section. I was wondering if there is a special way to add the next display as i am only seeing 1 thats the main number 1. then number 2 is nowhere to bee seen to be able to set it to another setting like heading or Altitude.

Thanks.

Hi

At first keep in mind that 5V line should be lined in parallel.
So the 5V NOT from Out to In .... That one please directly to each Display In.... So keept he 5V Out Pin empty !

About Setting.

In device Setup (Where you choose for the 7Seg Display and the used Pins) there is a additional Dropdown "Num" .... Choose here for the chain length.... e.g. 3 for 3 Displays.

Then in a Output Config you choose for the used Display Chain and also there is a "Num" Dropdown where you can choose the right Display.

Good Luck !
