#141650 - Insufficient information - so assumptions rule! Responding to: ???'s previous message |

do you really assume that he can get a scoring display bright enough with a direct pin drive I think you must be assuming that it's for a large display for viewing by a crowd? Possibly in daylight and in the open air? But he hasn't actually said that - maybe it's just for a table-top display for some 2-player board game... (multiplexed to death) You're assuming again! A modern variant might have enough ports for direct drive - he's only mentioned displaying one 3-digit score.. Of course, your assumptions could be all correct, and mine all wrong - which brings us back again to my real point: there is no such thing as "easiest" (or "simplest" or "best" etc) unless the specific criteria are known! |
