I2C 7-Segment Driver Help

xesxes

I have never used I2C before, and I need to get some 7-segment displays working for a project due tomorrow. The Driver I got is an NXP SAA1064 (Datasheet: http://www.nxp.com/documents/data_sheet/SAA1064_CNV.pdf )

I am getting hung up in the slave ID and sub addressing, I think.

I2COUT 0, $70, $1,[noparse][[/noparse]6]

really not sure what I am doing, I have the ADR pin tied to ground and a 1k pull up on the SDA and SCL lines.

ack help. [noparse]:([/noparse]

Could you include your entire code and a wiring diagram? Are you sure you have the correct i2cout command?

A little late to get started on a project due tomorrow?

A quick search on Google "SAA1064 BS2" brought up this:

with sample BS2 code.

Thank you for the quick responses. I managed to get it to work, that bs2 source code helped. I was a little disappointed that it wasn't a driver in the sense that I could send it a 6 and it would display six. Where I still have to send %01011111
you can look for it on the new fast and furious movie
