For now, this is not fully integrated in the package, but this will be added soon.

You can find next listed classes /interfaces :

* DigitConverter class

• Converts single numbers to instances of the Digit interface.

• Converts full numbers to instances of the Digit interface.

• Converts single characters (one char strings) to instances of the Digit interface.

• Converts full string to instances of the Digit interface.

  !Attention : The methods in this class converts only known characters and numbers. See table below.

  You can access the single digits also by importing following chars/numbers :

  existing characters	Digit const	Description
  0, 1, 2,... -9 (also in string '0')	ZERO, ONE,TWO,...	By importing this const you have the instance of the digit interface class for this number.
  -	MINUS	By importing this const you have the instance of the digit interface class for the minus char. Attention, this character can only give with a number or only as character.
  .	COMMA	When using full numbers with comma seperated values The same applies as with MINUS
  °	DEGREE	This character can be used to display a temperature unit. Attention, this can only be used in character or string methods
  C	CHAR_C	This character can also be used to display a temperature unit. I choose this notation instead of using Celcius, so that when I later decide to fully implement the class with all existing characters, I can still do that. The same is true as DEGREE

  These Characters can also be found in the existingDigitCharacters.ts file.

* Digit (interface)

This interface represents an LED Digit Display. Each Digit consists of 7 controllable segments. (a,b,c,d,e,f,g)

This is represented in an object on the had of the corresponding letters.

  {
    a: false,
    b: false,
    c: true,
    d: true,
    e: true,
    f: true,
    g: true
  }

* printDigits class

With this class you can print all exisiting characters. See DigitConverterClass

• toString(digit: Digit[]) method :
  • This method gives you a string where all digits are converted to digit styled numbers in the string.
• printDigits(digit: Digit[]) method :
  • This method prints the digits to the console
