I am currently teaching (long term sub) PLTW Digital Electronics and we havent really used the cmodS6 very much but are currently working on a project to create a 60 second timer. I have 45 students and only 8 cmods that we are sharing between 2 classes so they are getting a good workout. My question is, where is it shown what pins on the cmod are to be assigned to what? For instance, I recently learned that CLK should only be assigned to PIO14. Also, I am getting erratic results when I assign my display segments for DIG1 and DIG0 to the lower number pins, but if I assign them to higher number pins such as 15 -21 or 26-32 I no longer get erratic results on my display. Also, I have a working functioning protoboard that I have wired up and I have been testing each cmod I have and have come across a couple when I plug them into my circuit I may lose a segment or two from my display? What would cause that? I havent touched the wires at all just replacing he cmod. Does that mean some part of the cmod has shorted out? Thanks so much for the help!
