Over at Sparkfun they’re selling a relatively massive 7-segment LED display, measuring a highly legible 6″x3.3″. Finally, I can see what MIDI channel I’m using from down the hall!
Has anyone put one of these to work in a µcontroller project yet? We’d love to see it in action!

Of course, you could always make your own.

I picked up an old deli sign counter and chopped one of those out of it.
That was an awesome find lol
Finally I could have a clock I could see without my glasses on!
these pale in comparison to an eight FOOT high seven segment display done by one of my colleagues, robert twomey, for his MFA thesis…
