paint number draws a Digit at a specified position paint segment (A-G) draws parts A-F of the Digitnumber. To show negative numbers you can use the segment G. Don´t forget to use “refresh display” from the paint category at the end. ![grafik](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/2/280f7826564aa478c14e2e257f5693fb4c7323ab.png) Hope that helps!

This answers my earlier question about how to enlarge the digital read out on the small OLED on the DF Robot Micro:IoT board for Microbit. My first question is always: Do the extensions conflict? and here , no , they don’t. Yes your 7 segment display enlarges the numerals greatly so thanks so much for this Michael ! We can use this in class with ThingSpeak and IoT projects: [https://makecode.microbit.org/\_EckJgyP12eEv](https://makecode.microbit.org/_EckJgyP12eEv) ---

i know this is 2 years old but this is really cool so here is some ideas to make this better(please do them this is the best extension i’ve ever seen): - make the paint feature grid smaller (that IS possible, i saw a small grid in an extension one time but idk how they made that) - backgrounds. this might be laggy. - sprites. it would be the best thing ever. - and also, collision. ok maybe that’s too hard to do but if you ever make collision and sprites, … i dont know what to say. yeah uhh thats it if you do this i will uuuh um uh uuhm muhhuum huhm huhmhu mhu mhu mhumhuh muh mhum hu uhmu mhuhmmuhumhh umhumhumhh muh muh umhumhmuhhuhumhumhhumhhhumhumhumhumh _ **dies** _ ---

Thanks for your feedback. I developed the extension for the calliope mini which has less memory than the new microbit so there would be a problem with new features and buffer for sprites and so on and currently I don´t have enough time for it, sorry. Greetings Michael ---
