Kernel-3.10.0-957.el7_misc_usbsevseg

USB 7-Segment Numeric Display
Manufactured by Delcom Engineering

Device Information

USB VENDOR_ID 0x0fc5
USB PRODUCT_ID 0x1227
Both the 6 character and 8 character displays have PRODUCT_ID,
and according to Delcom Engineering no queryable information
can be obtained from the device to tell them apart.

Device Modes

By default, the driver assumes the display is only 6 characters
The mode for 6 characters is:
MSB 0x06; LSB 0x3f
For the 8 character display:
MSB 0x08; LSB 0xff
The device can accept “text” either in raw, hex, or ascii textmode.
raw controls each segment manually,
hex expects a value between 0-15 per character,
ascii expects a value between ‘0’-‘9’ and ‘A’-‘F’.
The default is ascii.

Device Operation

  1. Turn on the device:
    echo 1 > /sys/bus/usb/…/powered
  2. Set the device’s mode:
    echo $mode_msb > /sys/bus/usb/…/mode_msb
    echo $mode_lsb > /sys/bus/usb/…/mode_lsb
  3. Set the textmode:
    echo $textmode > /sys/bus/usb/…/textmode
  4. set the text (for example):
    echo “123ABC” > /sys/bus/usb/…/text (ascii)
    echo “A1B2” > /sys/bus/usb/…/text (ascii)
    echo -ne “\x01\x02\x03” > /sys/bus/usb/…/text (hex)
  5. Set the decimal places.
    The device has either 6 or 8 decimal points.
    to set the nth decimal place calculate 10 ** n
    and echo it in to /sys/bus/usb/…/decimals
    To set multiple decimals points sum up each power.
    For example, to set the 0th and 3rd decimal place
    echo 1001 > /sys/bus/usb/…/decimals
