The LED components:
Led.Digits
Led.Matrix
Are currently being completely overhauled to eliminate constraints imposed by legacy porting efforts. I'll keep you posted here.
I will also attempt to reproduce this in the meantime—maybe we can get you resolved before that work is complete.
Cool - happy to help anyway I can sir.

Can you link me to the exact component that you're using? Thanks!!
Sure. Here you go sir.

Appreciate you cycling back. Have a great weather display working with the numerical version. So ready to test your code at any time.

Ah, ok. So I can confirm that these are indeed not yet supported. (Also, I'm really sorry for the delay in getting back to you—life is busy :\ ) Presently, only the 7-segment 4-digit HT16K33 units are supported
Sure I inferred that Rick. I see you work pretty closely with Adafruit - do yo have a pipeline of these? If I had one sent to you would that help? You can’t expect to finance this all yourself, right?

Sorry, I'm not trying to be deliberately dense... balancing a lot of plates, sometimes I post because I don't want reporters to think I've forgotten about them. Sorry about that :\

I actually don't work with them at all, I don't think they've ever even acknowledged that this project exists. I have to buy these just like everyone else.
Sorry to take so long to get back to you Rick. I have no affiliation with Adafruit at all except but a lot from them.
I have a few of these displays lying around - very happy to send one to you - to keep
And - since you seem to be much more embedded in the industry than I am - if you do have me send you the display - would you possibly have a pipeline into a charity or program that could use alot of surplus Arduino type gear? If you do I could send it all to you along with the display to dispose of how you see fit. I'm just a working stiff messes with this stuff to wind down. Not involved locally at all.
Thanks Bob.

Thanks for the offer—I've actually purchased one of these and it was delivered a few days ago, I just haven't had time to work on it (busy preparing for all the Tessel 2 boards to ship)
OK - will stand by when you get the time to test Rick.
Also any ideas about all of the surplus components I have?

Hi @bethanysciences ,
Johnny-Five contributors and maintainers are loathe to close issues where someone has a need. We don't want anyone to ever feel that we don't care, but we just haven't gotten to this feature yet. Rather than leave it languishing as an open issue we have created a Requested Features page and added your request for the HT16K33 Backpack there.
Old issue, but the 14 segment display has been supported for a while now with this library: https://github.com/louiemontes/node-led
Hello Rick - having a great time with your Johnny Five modules on Intel Edisons - I love the power. Got it all running great with the seven segment backpacks - also have a bunch of 14-segment ones but they do not work. Below is the code I use to drive one 7-seg for time and 1 for temp.
As I said I have a bunch of these - if you had any ideas about updating the code for the 14-seg packs I would be happy to test for you.
Here is my code below - with the 7-segs it works - swapping out the the time 7-seg pack for a 14-seg - at 22:31 - I get the following
This might help...
LED 1: 2 - middle right segment not lit LED 2: 2 - middle right segment not lit LED 3: Blinking 8 LED 4: 3 - middle right segment not lit.
Thanks very much.
