Hi Ethan, --- Paul Braun <nerdware(a)laidbak.com> wrote: Does the Highway Department know? ;-) I've always wanted to play with that sort of thing. The flippy segments are cool, but several square feet of LEDs is cool, too. I wouldn't do it with a mechanical display, but an electronic one would make a cool binary clock. If you want lots of lights get an old electronic fruit machine (bandit). I was given one as scrap and it has over 400 12v bulbs (standard car instrument lights) in a matrix with the driver cards. Very pretty Xmas lights. Cheers, Lee. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- This email is intended only for the above named addressee(s).
