ESPHome: Direct Control of 7-Segment Display?

ESPHome
1

Hello All,

I’m working on a project to display sensor values read by ESPHome onto a 7-Segment Display. I purchased several components, but unfortunately, I forgot to buy a dedicated 7-Segment Display Driver Module…
So, I’m considering coding the 7-segment display driver logic directly onto the ESP32 (i.e., driving it using only GPIO pins).
Has anyone attempted a similar project, or are there any existing guides or custom components for this approach?

Thank you.

This probably isn’t an esphome project any more at this point, but if it is, I would ask more esphome advanced people .

Hi @Sir_Goodenough,

Thanks for the reply.
I’ll try asking on Discord to see if anyone knows anything.
(I have a feeling they’ll just tell me to get a driver IC, though…)
