The far right column is part of the matrix as you would expect. It's the column adjacent that seems unusual. I guess if the decoding is there for it, you could illuminate a + sign with that column. On Monday, June 10, 2019 at 12:38:49 PM UTC-5, gregebert wrote: > > I cant figure out why there i

I cant figure out why there is a duplicate column of LEDs on the far right side. The IC is probably a custom BCD-to-segment driver specifically for discrete LEDs. There is only 1 resistor on the board, so the driver IC probably does the current-limiting. I'm fairly certain the IC is not MOS/CMO
