I suspect (hope) this is a really simple thing but I cant work out how to do it. I’m creating a scrolling display of sensor values on a MAX7219 Digit Display. Everything works, but I want a bit of space between them. I thought I could just add some additional space characters into the string being passed, but it ignores any more than one space.
I’ve tried ways around this - defining a char variable and adding it to the string. I’ve used the space ascii code. Ive tried horizontal tab. None of it works it just sticks to one white space. I can put alternative characteres in i.e. ‘_’ but I don’t want to do that ideally.
These additional spaces disappear when shown as a text sensor value, as well as on the display itself.
Is there an easy way of just adding these in that I’m missing?
