Wishing Darrel Taylor will write another character program for 14 and 16 segment displays. The LCD matrix program is a winner! Hope you have time to make this happen. Thanks for your expertise with the LCD exe. program, a great time saver.
Well, here's the basic framework for the 14-segment display.
<script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.darreltaylor.com/14seg/14seg.js"></script>
<script>CC14();</script>
The question now is ... What to do with them?
Is each character just a 14-bit number?
Which way do the bits get mapped? MSB/LSB first?
Where does it get stored? EEPROM? Program space?
How does it get used?
Are we making a whole Font? or just a few special characters?
Any suggestions?
