[simpits-tech] 7 Segment/LCD displays

[Chris Brace]

Try www.phidgets.com. 
Ive been using a prototype of the 8x7seg displays for about 3 months now, and 
they work really well. The production units are just about ready, and are 
really well priced. Chester also has a rotary encoder that you can use for 
tuning them. Ive got a sample program on my website that will work for COM1 
that connects to the sim and tune's in the radio.
Writting code to use them is very simple, I currently use Visual Basic and the 
FSUIPC sample code is a breese.
I have done parts of what your wanting to do already, and am happy to help if 
you need some. You can contact me privately for help if you want some help.

Chris.
