hi, you can try this [`cesars/rgblcd`](https://xod.io/libs/cesars/rgblcd/) , I do not have the hardware, so it’s very difficult for me to know if it works well ---

Thanks this looks like just what I am looking for. I tried to add the library and got this message “library/various has no version latest” I’m new at this and not sure what is wrong. ---

I have rebooted,tried it on another computer and loaded your entire set of nodes they all loaded except The “cesars/3-digit-multiplex-7seg” and “cesars/rgblcd” The error i got for the 2 is similar but not exactly the same. I have included a screen shot with my cellphone sorry for the low quality. I’m not sure how to capture the XOD image ---

I just do not understand how does a single if-else-v become a 7 input single output -----Scratch that Aha I replaced the if-else-v with the Gweimer one into the cesars/rgblcd directory and now the program can find it no error now i need to put it to use. I’ll keep you posted Thanks All ---
