“I have choose zeroseg because it’s a good item to test my concept on breadboard. First : it’s easy to build. Second : it’s easy to use directly on RPi by plug it on GPIO connector. Third : with DuPont wire, it’s easy to connect to breadboard. Fourth : because max7219 is plug on support, it’s possible to test my max7219 and my max7221. Firth : documentation give some example tu use it. For this five reasons this product is a good choice. One star for each good point.”

“Just found out that the code has been updated to make this work with Raspbian Stretch which is good. No more reverting to Jessie! Great board, easy to use and plenty of applications.”

“I have two of these little beauties! The somewhat retro red 7-segment digits lend a great look to some projects. When I originally got these, they would not work with the latest Raspian. The two workarounds were to downgrade the Pi Firmware, or use a different driver. I'm happy to say that a simple fix now sorts the problem out and allows the ZeroSeg to be used with the latest versions of Raspian, including 2018-06-27-raspbian-stretch-lite. The fix is simple, and requires you to edit one line in a file. Look at the GitHub and all will become clear: https://github.com/AverageManVsPi/ZeroSeg/issues/6”

“A nice little addtion to a PiZero, easy to solder up but take care with the IC holder and chip its easy to bend the pins out of line when inserting into the board and the Ic holder. I use this mostly as a digital clock but there are plenty of tutorials to make it into a scrolling display such as messages, number of tweets, temperature and pressure readings if you have the separate sensors.”
