  1. Diode matrices existed before the chips !

  2. PROPS DUDE! Glad you got it to work keep it up

  3. But the segments don’t light up equally.. 🙁

  4. It works, it’s ugly, but it’s yours. Be proud.

  5. Correct me if I’m wrong but you basically Madea big chip?

  6. Now pot that thing in a big blob of dark glues, write some random characters on it, and publish it as a chip.

  7. If its stupid and it’s works, it’s not stupid.

  8. You invented a Diode Matrix, oh wait, that was 70 years ago

  9. Two words: wire wrap

    (Nice work BTW)

  10. If you use a transistor to drive each segment, you can make up for the diode losses and have the display brightness be uniform.
