MAX7219 7-Segment Display
=========================
.. seo::
:description: Instructions for setting up MAX7219 7-segment displays.
:image: max7219.jpg
The ``max7219`` display platform allows you to use MAX7219 7-segment display drivers (`datasheet <https://datasheets.maximintegrated.com/en/ds/MAX7219-MAX7221.pdf>`__,
`hobbycomponents <https://hobbycomponents.com/displays/597-max7219-8-digit-seven-segment-display-module>`__)
with esphomelib. Please note that this integration is *only* for 7-segment display, not matrix configurations.

MAX7219 7-Segment Display.
As the communication with the MAX7219 is done using SPI for this integration, you need
to have an :ref:`SPI bus <spi>` in your configuration with both the **mosi_pin** set (miso_pin is not required).
Connect VCC to 3.3V (the manufacturer recommends 4+ V, but 3.3V seems to work fine), DIN to your ``mosi_pin`` and
CS to your set ``cs_pin`` and finally GND to GND.
You can even daisy-chain multiple MAX7219s by connecting the DOUT of the previous chip in the chain to the
next DIN. With more than ~3 chips the 3.3V will probably not be enough, so then you will have to potentially
use a logic level converted.
.. code-block:: yaml
# Example configuration entry
spi:
clk_pin: D0
mosi_pin: D1
display:
- platform: max7219
cs_pin: D2
num_chips: 1
lambda: |-
it.print("01234567");
Configuration variables:
------------------------
- **cs_pin** (**Required**, :ref:`Pin Schema <config-pin_schema>`): The pin you have the CS line hooked up to.
- **num_chips** (*Optional*, integer): The number of chips you wish to use for daisy chaining. Defaults to
``1``.
- **intensity** (*Optional*, integer): The intensity with which the MAX7219 should drive the outputs. Range is from
0 (least intense) to 15 (the default).
- **lambda** (*Optional*, :ref:`lambda <config-lambda>`): The lambda to use for rendering the content on the MAX7219.
See :ref:`display-max7219_lambda` for more information.
- **update_interval** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-time`): The interval to re-draw the screen. Defaults to ``1s``.
- **spi_id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID of the :ref:`SPI Component <spi>` if you want
to use multiple SPI buses.
- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID used for code generation.
.. _display-max7219_lambda:
Rendering Lambda
----------------
The MAX7219 has a similar API to the fully fledged :ref:`display-engine`, but it's only a subset as the MAX7219
7-segment displays don't have a concept of individual pixels. In the lambda you're passed a variable called ``it``
as with all other displays. In this case however, ``it`` is an MAX7219 instance (see API Reference).
The most basic operation with the MAX7219 is wiring a simple number to the screen as in the configuration example
at the top of this page. But even though you're passing in a string (here ``"01234567"``), esphomelib converts it
into a representation that the MAX7219 can understand: The exact pixels that should be turned on. And of course,
not all characters can be represented. You can see a full list of characters :ref:`below <display-max7219_characters>`.
Each of the three methods (``print``, ``printf`` and ``strftime``) all optionally take a position argument at the
beginning which can be used to print the text at a specific position. This argument is ``0`` by default which
means the first character of the first MAX7219. For example to start the first character of your text at
the end of the first MAX7219, you would write ``it.print(7, "0");``.
Also note that the ``.`` (dot) character is special because when esphomelib encounters it in the string the dot
segment of the previous position will be enabled.
.. code-block:: yaml
display:
- platform: max7219
# ...
lambda: |-
// Print 0 at position 0 (left)
it.print("0");
// Result: "0 "
// Print 1 at position 1 (second character)
it.print(1, "1");
// Result: "01 "
// Let's write a sensor value (let's assume it's 42.1)
it.printf(3, "%.1f", id(my_sensor).state);
// Result: "01 42.1 " (the dot will appear on the "2" segment)
// Overwrite the previous content with blank
it.print(" ");
// Print a right-padded sensor value with 0 digits after the decimal
it.printf("SENS%4.0f", id(my_sensor).state);
// Result: "SENS 42"
// Print the current time
it.print(" ");
it.strftime("%H.%M.%S");
// Result for 10:06:42 -> "10.06.42 "
Please see :ref:`display-printf` for a quick introduction into the ``printf`` formatting rules and
:ref:`display-strftime` for an introduction into the ``strftime`` time formatting.
