    I don't see them at AllElectronics but BGMicro still sells the small module you used.

    http://www.bgmicro.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=11762

    There was a larger one with more LEDs and such from BGMicro but they don't
    appear in their catalog. I have a couple of each in one of my junque boxes.

    Your display is in the middle of the page. I was refering to the LED cluster at the bottom of the page.

    Despite having read this thread it still remains highlighted as unread in the General Discussion page.
    Why is that?

    I was wondering what was going on also. It showed a "Last Post" by someone new, but the post didn't appear when I read the thread.


    edit: It shows up as "Read" now.

    There was a spam post added to this thread yesterday that got mod-deleted. That created a Catch 22 of sorts: it's unread until you read it, but you can't read it because it's no longer there. The only two ways to change the thread status to "read" are to mark all threads as read or for someone to add a post after the deleted post, which then can be read, as was done today.

    Good man that's a nice demo and you done a great job. I am also working in a signage company which also make the Sign board and all other advertising materials. The idea behind your demo is good and adoptable for me.
