I've done them a few ways... MOD-SIX OFC! Also the smartsockets... you can
basically make the length as long as you want to. Smart sockets are really
neat because they have the entire alphabet built right in with effects
too! Here's basic video of me testing one:
I display local wind speed and direction on them which I scrape from a web
page.
A recent project resulted in the tubes scrolling a message 'ITS JUST AFTER
FIVE IN' and then displaying the name of a place in the world where it was
between 17:00 and 18:00 - the idea came from a friend who wants
I have used these via the Smart Socket concept which allows you to easily
display numbers, letters, punctuation and user defined characters on any
number of these tubes.
I have used 'smart' sockets for B-7971's as well as ZM1350, SP-101 and now
16 segment LED 'starburst' displays.
