Allow Analog Pin Usage

[ftrocchi]

As we all know, the analog pins can be used as digital pins. Why not create a constructor that allows a mix of pins (analog or digital) for both the digit pins and segment pins?

My use case: I have an Arduino Nano and a 3 digit 7 segment (37S) display. The 37S pins will fit nicely on top of the Nano, but some of the pins are on the Analog Pins. For instance I would like to use pins D7-D2 (6 pins) on the top and A2-A6 (5 pins) on the bottom of the Nano.

Thanks for your time.

I am pretty sure you can just write the name of the analog pin instead of the regular pin number.
Please close this issue.

edit: sorry for the "Please close this issue". This is not an issue, my bad.

I tried earlier today. You can't put 'A2' in as a pin because it doesn't translate into a specific BYTE. The constructor takes a byte array, so therefore no analog pins work at the moment.

I just read that there are numbers for A0-A7 (14... ). So let me try that. I may just have been dumb :)

A2 is a macro - it has to work

#define A0 14
the compiler replaces A0 with the number 14

Yeah, I was an idiot. lol. thanks for letting me talk it through. This idea can go away :)

lol no problem
