Accidents Scoreboard

Former Member
Former Member over 11 years ago

Hello guys,

 

I would like to create a scoreboard accidents, like this:

Image

But instead of having only one display, I wanted to put 4 displays of 4 digits, all controlled by a single RPI.

Scheme of my project:

 

Capture.PNG

The displays are independent of each other, have different information shall go! Controlled by a program in Python.

 

Can you help me?

    Shift registers are your friend image

    A (very quick) google came up with this page:

    Shift Register: 74x595 | Wiring Pi

     

    Shout if you need more help, but that is a very simple project.

     

    Greg

    Hi Paul Ellison,


    Yes, I want to keep the individual scores, controlled by a program in python. The program on raspberry individually changes each display and also changes the color of the two LEDs.

    The program to change the score, it would be simple, that is, it would be just a software with 8 buttons or text boxes that would change the numbers of displays.

     

    Do you understand the project that I want to develop?

     

    Can you help me?

    Greg has offered help, as do I, and I'm sure there are a number of people on here that would be willing to.

    See if you can put together a draft schematic, perhaps a mockup of the control interface.

    I can help too if needed

     

    A quick question, are all counters to be in the same place, on the same display panel so to speak or are they located in different rooms or some distance apart

     

    The reason I ask is that if there all in the same location and are less than say 20 or so inches across, this could be done without the actual displays and rendered on a TV screen simulating the counters and any other text / background you choose, maybe safety tips every hour or so or alerts about drills and the like, the possibilities would be endless

     

    You still need the code of course to keep count etc, you could also host a remote web page from the PI for remote viewing

     

    anyway, let us know what you need

     

    Peter

    That is a very good point Peter!

    Have used the Raspberry Pi to build a status board in the past.

    Nice one Peter you could implement the whole thing with say a monitor in the back and a bezel in front  or just a computer graphic rather than the bezel.

     

    I do like the idea of safety advice  etc ...could be even in video format which would be cool!
