[simpits-tech] Opinions Needed - 7-Segment LED Display.

[Roy Coates]

Folks,
      A few years back, those clever chaps at Hagstrom designed the LED5
board which is an RS232 daisy-chainable device with 5 7-segment displays
on it.  they kindly sent me a few prototypes to play with and imho they
rocked.

These units never went into full-scale production because the feedback
from beta-testers gave a list of so many differing requirements that they
felt they could not support everyone's needs.

I've chatted with Hagstrom today and they are happy to revisit the LED5
and are asking for YOUR input on what the device should offer. So please
please please let me know what you'd like from the LED5 and with a little
luck we'll see these in production.

Some pics and info for the original prototype are here:

Cheers,

Roy.

PS: The final prototypes were dimmable under software control too.
