Static Display on Sensehat

[jklondon]

Looking to generate a countdown on the sensehat (e.g. 10...9...8..) based on a certain triggers. How can I display a static character on the sensehat, when I try its always scrolling)? Thanks Rav

Try using show_letter instead of show_message.
See https://pythonhosted.org/sense-hat/api/#led-matrix

Yes, but that's only for one letter, right ?
What if number has two letters ?
I thought about generating image and using method: display_image or something, don't remember exact method

Well, you did ask about 'a static character'...

I thought about generating image and using method: display_image or something, don't remember exact method

it's set_pixels, see link above for syntax and an example

No it's load_image method
Loads an image file, converts it to RGB format and displays it on the LED matrix. The image must be 8 x 8 pixels in size.
