#display not working correctly

That's almost certainly a wiring problem. How many displays do you have, and did you wire them in series?
^, I would recommend to run the “test” mode in mobiflight just to make sure but it does look like a wiring issue
If the digits dont light up then we definitely know its a wiring issue
2 displays and there connected to separate Arduinos
yea in test mode the bottom one stays unlit
How are you feeding power to the display that isn't working?
If you swap the two displays does the same one stay broken?
im powering it with the 5V pin, and let me check to see if swapping does anything
any time the display is gibberish like that it's one of these causes:
- Daisy chaining power across more than two displays
- Bad wires/bad wire connections
- Bad display (rare but happens sometimes)
ok
also just swapped the displays and neither are working now...
ok restarted mobiflight and it is working
i think its a wiring issue
im getting this now...
wait i think its fixed
heyy its fixed :D
tho i am having a problem with it now now showing 2 values :(
i might just have the wrong thing selected
fixed everything
sweet!
