I would love to purchase a few boards with five or more 7 segment LED displays.
Your current boards are all multiplexed, like the Serial 7-Seg 8-Digit Board or the Serial 7-seg Display 2 Board.
I would like the new boards to simply supply the LED displays and perhaps display driver IC's that do not use Multiplexing. I am old school and love
to interface things the old fashioned way. I work quite often with 74xx series logic chips.
Thanks for considering this,

7+1dot = 8 pins + Gnd for each digit ... with 8 digits this would mean 64 pin ... a big bestie

Re: Make a new style LED display board without multiplexing
I know that it is a lot of connections. Perhaps if it is not practical to use 5 or more LED's, because of the large amount of connections needed, then boards with 2 or 3 LED's would still be very useful to me. In fact, I would just end up buying more. Now that I think about it, boards with just 2 LED's each would come in very handy for quite a few other ideas that I have in mind, such as simple voltage and current readouts for power supply circuits...etc.
Two LED's per board would be awesome. MikroElektronika, please consider this instead of my earlier idea of 5.

Hi The_PinkFloyd_67!
It will be considered.
I'll pass your request to our hardware developers.Two LED's per board would be awesome. MikroElektronika, please consider this instead of my earlier idea of 5.
It will be considered.

7 segment LED displays with only a few used pins = 74HC595 per display + 3 pins from uC (SerialData, Clock, Latch)
