I have just bought this 4 digit 7 segment display unit: http://www.communica...ils/P3579877383
Suddenly I feel real stumped as to how to connect this...and couldn't really find a datasheet where I was told to look.
It's connection are marked as SDO, VCC, GND, SDI, LCK, and CLK.
As they mention on their page "only need 3 wires to MCU" of which I know two will be VCC and GND but the data connection is what is puzzling me.
Voltage I see is 5V but am now wondering if the NP2's 5V out would be enough or if I would need an external 5V
EDIT: or are they excluding the VCC and GND in their count and referring to SDI and SDO and CLK instead?
Furthermore I am suddenly worrying about code to send data to it and wonder if something like the code from http://blog.mark-ste...hift-registers/ or https://stefan.co/el...h-bitshift-ics/ will work at all
