Clock not showing .raw files #1

It seems that main.py does not utilise function display_digit_nixie() from display.py, resulting in inability to show font from .raw files

Just change the LCD.display_dots in line 267 of main.py LCD.display_digit_nixie(x) Probably a couple of other places you need to change (like a few lines below for 4 digit time display) but you get the idea.

Thanks helped a lot! The other line for 4 digit time mode is line# 291

Hi,

Thank you for letting me know.

I've just checked, and the version of the code in Github was out of date compared with what is in my clock. I've updated git to the latest version, and it should be OK now.

The main difference is to allow the font to be changed from the settings menu. Options are Nixie Tube images, dot-matrix in various colours, and 7-segment in different colours.

Please upload all files and try again.

Gary.

btw great job Gary! Just tried the updated code and it works perfectly without a change. Like you I was very disappointed with the software support for this kit. I actually think the hardware is good for the price. Unlike you, I went down the C code route and it ended up nowhere near as neat as yours, although it does function.
