This interface was almost too much work even for me - but worth it. These high intensity incandescent 7-segment displays were a crucial stepping stone on the way to the robust, reliable LED displays that would exist much later. Enjoy!

High quality micro sockets all the way✊ Usb 🤣
Currently collecting miniature aviation sockets..the soldering is a nightmare but they feel good.
Again..usb 🤣🤣🤣
That display is a thing of beauty.
Thanks Fran for making this happen
Heat sink draws the heat into the aluminum block
Pre apple computer
I used to love doing projects like this in my high school industrial electronics class.
That's awesome
My new favorite host and channel! Thanks Fran!!!! SUBSCRIBED!!!
track name in the end?
Kind of a funny side story…when I worked at a mobile product company, one of .y colleagues related a story about looking at a product from a Swedish company, in which they accomplished LED dimming by actually "stealing" current from the LEDs, just 'burning it off', so we always joked about "Swedish dimming" …. imagine needing a heatsink for the dimming!
I really enjoy the pile of circuit boards, this is exactly how I would end up doing it.
F-16A Block 1 select panel, anyone?
Not the worst heatsink. A sphere shaped would have been the worst.
Hey Fran, you are correct, it was the cold filament surge that can be 10 times of the rated current 🤓
Would be humorous if you added a thermocouple and had it display its own current temperature maybe switching between different temperature units C F K : )
