Hi Everyone, this is my first post here.
I want to build a simple scoreboard for some backyard basketball games.
I want to make a large display using LEDs. (not the seven segment display LEDs) I was hoping to use those individual LEDs and make 6 to 10 inch high digits. How do I hook them up?
I just need something simple and inexpensive. Maybe a simple counter circuit. But the problem for me is building the display.
I have Googled around to look for ideas but didn't find the right answer.
All I need is 2 digits each for the home team and the visitor team.
I haven't done any real electronics projects fo a long time (25 years)...I'm sure things have changed. I used to do projects with wire wrap and those boards with all the holes (perf boards I think?)
I hope some one can help me.
thanks
