Lego Technic 7 Segment LED Panel - Hexadecimal Counter
This video shows a Lego Technic 7 segment LED panel that can count upwards or downwards using a track driven program via tow ball pins. The LED display can be programmed to show digits or one of 17 different letters to make a sequential display to animate small text messages.
The panel is driven either by hand using a crank or via a Powered Up motor. You can select which one to use via a manual switch.
