Looking for the feasibility of an Arduino device to be able to simulate a pinball machine display. There would be (4) 6 digit 7-segment LED's that would need to rotate displaying 6 digit numbers. Any advice on the feasibility would be appreciate.

Using a few MAX7219 this would be very simple.

Do you mean physically rotate? Or just simulate rotation by changing the display.

Don’t want to simulate the old reel type displays, but the newer digital led ones. They would flash the last score played, the the high scores, then repeat. DZ

Either way, a matrix display would be more versatile. [image] Aliexpress link

Those are all great suggestions, but I need a pretty specific size since they have to fit in a Pinball machine backglass - 110X30mm. Other colors than red would nice too. Any sources for something like that?

Well, you in luck maybe… [image] Multicolour led displays Programming Questions Looks like D0 and D1 select the digit (0-3) while LE (Load Enable?) , SDI (Serial Data In), and CLK (Clock) load two 16-bit shift registers for the three sets of 8 segments (7 + decimal point)…
