This is a component which has been sitting around on my hard drive for a while. I thought I may as well release it for anyone who was interested. It’s a component that turns a string of digits into a 7-segment (alarm-clock style) display. There is also a 16-segment mode for displaying characters with diagonals etc.

It’s a fairly simple bit of code, most of the work is actually figuring out the character mappings, and as such I’ve only done upper-case A-Z, 0-9 and a little bit of punctuation.
