How to Use

1. Connect the Display:

1. • Power Supply: Connect the VCC pin to the positive power supply (5V or 3.3V) and the GND pin to ground.
   • Segment Connections: Connect each segment pin to the output pins of your microcontroller or control circuit.

2. Control Signals:

1. • Send Signals: Use your microcontroller to send control signals to the segment pins. Each segment pin will light up based on the signal received.
   • Level Indication: Adjust the signals sent to represent different levels of the battery or other values. For example, if you want to show 60% battery, light up 3 out of the 5 segments.

3. Integration:

1. • Incorporate into Device: Mount the bar graph display in your device or project enclosure. Ensure that it is visible and accessible for user feedback.
   • Code Development: Write the necessary code for your microcontroller to handle the input signals and manage the segment lighting based on the battery level or other parameters.

4. Testing and Calibration:

1. • Verify Operation: Test the display to ensure that it correctly shows the levels as intended. Adjust the control signals if needed.
   • Calibration: If available, calibrate the display to ensure accurate representation of the levels.

The Battery Level Indicator Bar Graph with 5 segments provides a straightforward and effective way to visually monitor battery levels or other status indicators. Its simplicity, combined with low power consumption and ease of use, makes it a valuable component for a variety of electronic and battery-operated devices.
