2. Soldering the headers Before using your click board, make sure to solder 1x8 male headers to both left and right side of the board. Two 1x8 male headers are included with the board in the package. 1 AlphaNum click 2 3 4. Essential features While a standard 7-segment display is sufficient only for displaying digits, a 14-segment display (also known as a starburst display) is necessary for legibly rendering the ISO basic Latin alphabet. The dual character display onboard AlphaNum click also contain two commas (decimal Turn the board upside down so that Turn the board upward again. Make sure points if used for digits) as additional the bottom side is facing you upwards. to align the headers so that they are segments. The two TLC5926 ICs contain 16- Place shorter pins of the header into the perpendicular to the board, then solder the bit shift registers and data latches to convert appropriate soldering pads. pins carefully. serial input data into parallel output format. 1. Introduction AlphaNum click is a simple solution for adding 3. Plugging the board in 14-segment alphanumeric displays to your click device. The board carries two TLC5926 16- Once you have soldered the headers your bit Constant-Current LED sink Drivers as well board is ready to be placed into the desired BOARD as a dual character LED 14-segment display. mikroBUS socket. Make sure to align the www.mikroe.com AlphaNum click communicates with the cut in the lower-right part of the board with target board through mikroBUS RST, CS, SCK, the markings on the silkscreen at the MISO, MOSI, PWM and INT pins (marked here mikroBUS socket. If all the AlphaNum click manual ver 1.00 as LE2, LE1, CLK, DOUT, DIN, NUMSEL and pins are aligned correctly, NUMSEL respectively). The board is designed push the board all the way to use either a 3.3V or 5V power supply. into the socket. 01000000757398. Code examples 5.
