Free LED software, Seven Lights

PLJack

Hi gang.

I've been away for a while. I have returned to share some software I created for the Parallax community.

I've recently had to work with seven segment LEDs.
As usual when I need to learn something new I write software to help me understand the subject when ever possible.

I started this thread to ask for your help in finishing the project.
I would be grateful if you were to try it out and provide some feedback before I call the project done.


Features:

Real time LED feed back .
LED values in Integer, HEX and Binary format.
Create LED sequences, called "Pages".
Load and save page files.
Animate pages before committing to code.
Generate on the fly code examples.


Requests:

Check for typo's or other silly mistakes.
Example code in PBasic, embedded Java and SX ASM similar to the SX/B example provided with this version.
Basically enjoy the software and provide critics, comments or suggestions.



Here is a snap shot.



Here is a SFX demonstration.

Looks cool! I've seen alot of software for LCDs, but never 7-segment displays.

I'm guessing that this will take most of the work out of figuring out how to use a LED display!

Flawlessly!
Right out of the gate. Hmmm...
Thanks.

Thanks for giving it a try.
Don't forget. I'm looking for example code in PBasic, embedded Java and SX ASM similar to the SX/B example.

Interesting UI... may I asked what you used to develop it?

The version I am using is a couple years old.
Not the best for large apps. I use it for little things like this project.
Documentation is sparse at best.

Ah, so it's a component for Delphi and not an actual development tool in and of itself.

Correct. Borland C++ in this case.
