Problem running that

[manueldimitri]

Hi johnlr,

How you doing?

I've buy that 4 digit (http://www.aliexpress.com/item/4-Digit-LED-Display-Tube-7-segments-YELLOW/32626686149.html) and I should use that library. However, I've some doubt how to run that library. Or that or my wiring is not correct.

Do you mind to give some lights about that?

Regards,
Igor Marques

I don't have one set up at the moment. If you can tell me more specifically how you have set it up perhaps I can help

Connect the clk and dio pins to BCM21 and BCM20, vcc to either 3v3 or 5v, and gnd to gnd.
Install the wiringpi2 library using pip3. If you don't have pip3, install it using apt.
Run the script as root and it will probably display strange alien symbols and occasionally time.
