Reply to "ALGE D-LINE DISPLAYS UNDER TEST"

We ran 4 of these (ok, it was really 8 - 4 inside and 4 outside) at the World Cup in Lake Louise.

They were NO problem to read in bright sunlight. Make sure you get the brightness turned up to 9.

It takes a bit to figure out the configuration software, but the key is if your running in extended mode (ie: full data management) that each display element (ie: digit) has 1 byte for the character you want to trap (ie: character 13 in the data stream) and 1 byte for the . : or trip dot. Then, continue on for the next digit.

None of the above will make sense until you try to program the board with the software. It took Jim Karnes, the Skunk and myself about an hour to figure it out.

Then... it makes perfect sense.
