Hi Mike, first off, thank you for your fine work on espbasic. I really love it!!! In an effort to figure out a cheap way to display the ip address of the esp on the network, I have found the TM1637 which is readily available and Very Cheap! ie...

Would it be possible to add the driver for this in espbasic. It could be used for many different things, but just a cheap and low pin count way of showing the ip address would be a great use not to mention a very easy net clock, etc. You could show it by first flashing the 192 then the 168 then the 2 then the 213 or whatever it is. For a buck and change, that would be awesome.

Here is a link for the arduino library that maybe you could use.

Thank you again for your work and considering this idea.

Hi Mike, can you let me know if you can add this feature to the espbasic? I have a couple of projects where this would be very handy to have for a cheap little display for ip address, clock, etc. I just need to know if it is possible to add or not. If not I will try to write a program to handle it in basic. Thanks for all your efforts on espbasic. Really starting to like it a lot!!!

This must be the wrong area to post feature requests, even if they are not feasible, or if they are what I want, what I really, really want, a short answer is better than no answer at all. I guess I will carry on and answer my own question... No this is not feasible right now... Ok Thanks Rob, now I can carry on. That wasn't very hard at all... It only took 22 days to answer my own question, or at least reply to myself.

Unfortunately I have been rather busy lately and have not been able to be as active on the forum or in development.

There is no yes or no at this point. I don't have the piece of hardware to test with and have not had the time to investigate. Hopefully this has not caused a bad experience with esp basic.
