I recently recieved a 4-digit seven-segment module that is controlled via I2C. The display has (4) seven-segment displays controlled by the SAA1064 4-digit LED-driver. The module has 4 pins, VCC, SDA, SCL, and GND. The display address is 0x70, which was selected by tieing the ADR pin of the SAA1064 to GND (This was already done on the module itself). I am new to using I2C devices and the corresponding commands in PICBASIC confuse me a bit. The SDA and SCL are both pulled high via 4.7Kohm resistors. If I understand correctly, you do not use constants in the I2CWRITE syntax; use variables only.

I cant for the life of me figure this out. What would be the correct form for I2CWRITE to utilize this display.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Sean Harmon
