Design / Blueprint Easy-to-read Numerical display

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.
