7 segment display for NETMF?

Anyone come across a 7 segment type display that would run under Glide?

I am making a nice little display for my lightning detector and would like to make the readout nice and large. The DROID48 font is too small so something much larger would be ideal.

I am in the process of looking for bitmap images for the numbers so I can create my own but if something already exists it would save me time.

@ Dave McLaughlin - you mean a seven segment font? :think:

Maybe something like this : [url]http://www.fontspace.com/style-7/digital-7[/url] ?

But there is a button “Contact designer”… :think:

I ended up rolling my own using bitmaps. :slight_smile: Looks better in real life that it does in the attached image.

I’ll look at the FONT option too. Cheers.

@ Dave McLaughlin - Looks good!

@ Dave McLaughlin - Very nice!

So, now that you’ve rolled your own are you going to put them somewhere we can steal them? :wink:

I could always send you my 7-segment library code from my 2002/2003 HP jornada game (from the scoreboard/timer)

it’s C++ and Pocket PC 2000 (win CE) though, lol.

I’ll need to tidy it up a bit first and add some more stuff such as digit count, decimal point, different sizes etc but yes I will upload to codeshare soon.

I tidied it up and added floating point capability and rolled it into a class. It has been working away all day on my lightning detection system.

I am going to use it for another project as they look really neat compared to the standard fonts. It can handle smaller sizes too with a little work on the graphics.
