I have a project in mind that I think would be well-suited to the PICAXE. I want to build a hand-held timer for my race club (as in foot-races - 5K, 10K, Marathon, etc.).
For a display, I want to maintain several (6ish?) lines that contain a 3 digit position, a 1-digit hours count, a 2-digit minutes count, and a 2-digit seconds count. eg.
001 0:58:10
002 0:58:30
003 1:01:02
etc.
However, all of the alphanumeric LED display I've been able to find have the wrong aspect ratio. They tend to be short and wide.
Does anyone have any pointers to where I might find a tall and skinny LED display (or some other display technology like LED or TFT) which is easy to interface with a PICAXE?
