Re: [AVR-Chat] Really Big Outdoor-readable Displays?

2005-04-11 by Roy E. Burrage

With a drill press, a 19 inch relay rack panel, and some incandescent displays you can do it for not a whole lot of money. It may be a bit time consuming but it's also visible in daylight. If you multiplex segments you might also want to use isolation diodes for each segment.

If you're serious, a good mechanical 7 segment display is what you
need. Like this maybe:

Exactly. So how can I get something like that cheap? (stealing it off  
the bank's street sign doesn't count.) Didn't find prices at Bodet.com  
so I can only presume, "If one has to ask, one can not afford it."
