Me 7-Segment Display-Red module adopts a 4-digit common-anode digital tube for displaying the numbers and a few special characters. The module can be used in the robot project to display the data such as the speed, time, score, temperature, distance, etc. It uses specific chip with LED drive and control, so that the digital tube can be controlled easier. Makeblock also provides Arduino library for easy programming to allow users easily controlling the digital tube. Its blue ID means that it has a double-digital signal port and needs to be connected to the port with blue ID on Makeblock Orion.
