Pro mini and COM-11441 code request

Components & Accessories Displays
1

To whom it may concern.

I am looking for some reliable code that doesn’t cause the COM-11441 display that I have hooked up to the serial port to display gibberish and then stop on different gibberish words before starting the same gibbersh loop again.

My pro mini is the 5V variety.

I am hooking up to my PC via the FTDI / USB cable that I bought. FTDI Cable - 5V VCC; 3.3V I/O SKU: SF-DEV-09717

btw: I am running Windows 10 Educational 64 bit system.

Best regards,

Marc

Hi Marc.

Have you tried the example code in our [hookup guide? That should get you started.

Give that code a try and if you’re still having trouble, please send photos of the top and bottom of your board and a photo showing how the board connects to your Pro Mini.](Using the Serial 7-Segment Display - SparkFun Learn)
