No, these are seven segment and three digits to a package and the digits are bigger. I am at work for a 48 hour shift, I can take pics when I get home. Maybe we should take this off list, not being neon, if you don't mind. My email is jpeakall AT madlabs DOT info. Thanks, these are cool

I haven't heard of these before. I know OSRAM uses a DLO code for their "high effiency red" color. Are they similar to the OSRAM DLO3416 or DLO2416? On Sunday, 19 March 2017 12:00:41 UTC-4, Jonathan wrote: > > I just ran across some DLO-3130 displays. Do you have any information on > them? > >

I chose the RasPi zero-W (the newest Pi, for $10 US) because it has built-in WiFi to do periodic time-sync, and it will allow me to update my clock software remotely, rather than taking the clock apart each time to update FPGA code. My concern is the limited GPIO speed of the Pi, so I will

Yeah, but this is costly due to custom transformer used. I'd prefer a 12V supply and cheap NE555 converter or 5V + voltage doublers, as this is just cheaper than those 'ready to use' modules from ebay. On USB you are heavily limited with current anyway, so the clock has to be multiplexed or

I wonder just wondering, if anyone has made a RPi hat that adapts to an Arduino header so that you could use an RPi with any (well, most) Arduino shield as there are 1000's of Arduino shields and only a few 100 (maybe) RPi hats... Just a thought... RATS! Someone else thought of it first -

Unfortunately there aren't any original IN-14 sockets. But there are good news: you can easily buy IN-14 to 2,54mm adapter from OSH park. I don't know if there is any existing project like this, but for me it is really short work and I could make gerber files for such PCB*. OSH makes three

Hello, Does it have to be RPi? There are many options available for arduino, but for some reason not many for the RPi (that I know of). I think all options already include the 5V/3.3V and HV power-supply. Here someone uses an RPi 0 with the Arduinix shield/HAT :
