    The PIC oscillator oscillates.

    The I2C bus I2C busses.

    Two of the segment lines were connected together & I suspected a bijou design error but it turned out that they were shorted by a whisker on the pcb.

    Removed the whisker & all 7 segments and the dot light up as per intent.


    Only 7 segments? You haven't gone for one of the ones with diagonals on it?
    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

      Nah.

      It's complicated enough as it is.

      Though I do have some of those displays in a cardboard box.

              Gosh.

              Tested all the segments of all 6 digits now.

              It must be said that the BigDigits are not as bright as I expected.

                    Salad.

                    The soup option was vegetable. The last time I tried that i had to go buy something else cos it was uber hot. Even the asbestos lipped types were moved to comment.
