Altitudeap,
 

Your project would not be hard at all to do. Although the scrolling hardware (4017's) would have to be doubled but they are very cheap. I will help you in anyway I can by first redesigning my drawings for your application. 

 

We can use SX28 RC outputs for the left wing and RB outputs for the right wing this way you can have 10 or more columns on each wing. 

 

The data statement will be more than a standard 5 column width which doesn't mater as the hardware is scrolling individual columns anyway.

 

DATA 1,2,4,8,16,32,64 

 

and also other code modification such as:

 

DisplayRB         VAR     RB

DisplayRC         VAR     RC

Clk_4017RB       VAR     RB.7

Clk_4017RC       VAR     RC.7

:

DisplayRB = TempResult     'light up the correct Rightside LEDs

DisplayRC = TempResult     'light up the correct Leftside LEDs

:

DisplayRB = 127            'turn off all Rightside LEDs

DisplayRC = 127            'turn off all Leftside LEDs

 

...and the scrolling hardware will be wired in the oposite direction for each wing.

 

I do not fly but travel alot with my job as a Lead Test Engineer which I do enjoy.

 

More later...I hope this helped. 


Thanks,


Timothy Gilmore
