USB 7-Segment Numeric Display
 | 
						|
Manufactured by Delcom Engineering
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Device Information
 | 
						|
------------------
 | 
						|
USB VENDOR_ID	0x0fc5
 | 
						|
USB PRODUCT_ID	0x1227
 | 
						|
Both the 6 character and 8 character displays have PRODUCT_ID,
 | 
						|
and according to Delcom Engineering no queryable information
 | 
						|
can be obtained from the device to tell them apart.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Device Modes
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
By default, the driver assumes the display is only 6 characters
 | 
						|
The mode for 6 characters is:
 | 
						|
	MSB 0x06; LSB 0x3f
 | 
						|
For the 8 character display:
 | 
						|
	MSB 0x08; LSB 0xff
 | 
						|
The device can accept "text" either in raw, hex, or ascii textmode.
 | 
						|
raw controls each segment manually,
 | 
						|
hex expects a value between 0-15 per character,
 | 
						|
ascii expects a value between '0'-'9' and 'A'-'F'.
 | 
						|
The default is ascii.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Device Operation
 | 
						|
----------------
 | 
						|
1.	Turn on the device:
 | 
						|
	echo 1 > /sys/bus/usb/.../powered
 | 
						|
2.	Set the device's mode:
 | 
						|
	echo $mode_msb > /sys/bus/usb/.../mode_msb
 | 
						|
	echo $mode_lsb > /sys/bus/usb/.../mode_lsb
 | 
						|
3.	Set the textmode:
 | 
						|
	echo $textmode > /sys/bus/usb/.../textmode
 | 
						|
4.	set the text (for example):
 | 
						|
	echo "123ABC" > /sys/bus/usb/.../text (ascii)
 | 
						|
	echo "A1B2" > /sys/bus/usb/.../text (ascii)
 | 
						|
	echo -ne "\x01\x02\x03" > /sys/bus/usb/.../text (hex)
 | 
						|
5.	Set the decimal places.
 | 
						|
	The device has either 6 or 8 decimal points.
 | 
						|
	to set the nth decimal place calculate 10 ** n
 | 
						|
	and echo it in to /sys/bus/usb/.../decimals
 | 
						|
	To set multiple decimals points sum up each power.
 | 
						|
	For example, to set the 0th and 3rd decimal place
 | 
						|
	echo 1001 > /sys/bus/usb/.../decimals
 | 
						|
