7 segment displays

[stevedabear]

I'm designing a scoreboard for a mates karate competitions, and i need some really quite big seven segment displays. Can anyone tell me where i can get these and how much they'll cost.. I looked on RS components, but there doesn't seem anything really big enough on there.. i need them to be.. about 100mm diagonal.. How much are these going to cost me?

thanks a lot

At that size, you're probably better off making your own 7-seg from arrays of individual LEDs.  That will give you ultimate control over color, size, and intensity.

Hi Steve,

This is not exactly what you are looking for but it might help anyway! ;D

Dear stevedabear

As Ldanielrosa Said you'd better build one for yourself.
About the file ANte Attached, I should say I couldn't download it because it is too big for me to download it. (I have a dial up connection)
I have attached The thing you want. with all explanations. U can Download any other thing needed from the web site. but you should do that Old trick as we discused in this website to enables you to download from SILICON Website.

Just Write the topic in Google and click on the Link. If you go directly to SILICON Website it does not allow you to download ;D

Yeah, I did a Google search for Silicon Chip Scoreboard and the 1st link was both complete parts of the project. Uploading it zipped must have taken an entire weekend on dial-up. ;D

If Steve hasn’t got a DSL connection he will have to start making the code for the Silicon Chip PIC to make that one work! ;D
