[simpits-tech] 7 Segment/LCD displays

Wed, 2 Oct 2002 09:07:13 +0300

I'm no programmer, but my friend here is a good one ,
He's writing me software in VC++ (if i mention VB near him he'll  kill me)
to control the Phidgets, for now its for the interface kits - all of them,
but he is preparing also for the servo/LCD, he's mostly done and hopefully
the first ( interface) part will be finished this/next week,
Then I'll post it to the group with the source.

Ido, Sorry but for now Im working in VB6-SP4. (And it still leaks like a
siv!!!)
I'm planning on porting and coding in C++ (and will most likely use
VC++), but not just yet.

What are you working on ?

Chris.

                                      displays

             Please respond

             to simpits-tech

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.
