Title: Five Segment Display Idea
Post by: atomic7732 on July 17, 2010, 11:24:22 AM
I came up with a easily readable 5 segment display when trying to come up with a 4 segment display, which resulted in a need for splitting a segment, whch worked out good for the some other numbers. I also was thinking it should be thinner. On my writing board it is thinner, but on here, it's almost more wide than tall!

Simple diagram. YES SIMPLE, NOT 5 HOUR DIAGRAM THAT LOOKS GOOD. YES I'M TALKING TO YOU DEOXY!!!!!!
I WILL NOT REDO IT BECAUSE YOU ASK ME TO. I WILL NOT PERMIT YOU TO REDO IT FOR ME.

Am i not doing it right? :-\
Well, apart from poking a little bit of fun at you not wanting a redone diagram, I put it in a digital clock, I assumed that was how it was to be used.
It says 8200.

okay ic but I thought for some reason that each circle was something and that was something different. Amof... That's 8700. The 2 is without the upper left piece.

here's the numbers with blue outline to show how it makes the shape.
