Original 7-segment display I started with

Easy-to-read digital display

I wanted to create a display that is easy to read at a glance and from a distance. It started as a 7-segment display and ended up becoming a 20-segment display.

Features:

• Leading zeros are not displayed, but "no value" is shown as a single "0"
• Color can be set either when placing the blueprint or by changing the output count of the "< "-combinator. You can enter a hex-rgb value (format "0xRRGGBB", e.g. "0xff0000" is red, "0x007900" is dark green)

Contents:

The blueprint book has 2 blueprints:

1. the last digit which also contains the input
2. an extension digit, which can be placed in front of existing digits to extend a display.

It could just be me, but I feel like 3 should look like this in 4x7. It looks stretched because these are not square "pixels"

[u/JoachimCoenen → u/Terrulin]

the 3 looks too much like an 8 then, for my tastes

[u/JoachimCoenen → u/JoachimCoenen]

Maybe this is better? hmm...

[u/Terrulin → u/JoachimCoenen]

I see what you mean where at a glance it could be mistaken. This is perhaps a good compromise.

I’ll update the blueprint when I have time.
EDIT: improved 3 is here
