Adafruit Red Hex-Segment Single Digit - 0.8" Tall Common Cathode

A compact, hex-segmented digit designed for versatility and easy integration into breadboards. Standing at just 0.8 inches, this digit features eye-catching bright red segments perfect for clear visibility.

The display includes a comprehensive 16-segment design with an added decimal point for enhanced functionality. While it lacks a driver or backpack, connectivity is seamless. Connect its common cathode to Ground, then attach a 200-1000 ohm resistor from each anode to a 3-5VDC source. Effortless control through a 74HC595 shift register or a microcontroller pin ensures dynamic application possibilities.

Ideal for experimental setups and educational projects, this digit serves as a practical and educational tool for showcasing numeric displays in digital designs.
