DSGarcia said:I'm now thinking of using LED light bars to create a 7-segment display. Is there something that has a serial port (or USB because serial to USB converters are available) and 8 I/O lines? I could then use 7 I/O lines for the segments and one left over for a pushbutton input. I would prefer something that can be programmed with the serial interface and not require a special programmer.
Thanks,
Dale

justDIY said:Yes, there are many products that fit your description.
Good call on the light bars - make a jumbo sized display!

You'd need some kind of step-down voltage regulator to get 12V, which shouldn't be too difficult to do.
