From my perspective they are both roughly equal amounts of effort.

Yes, they are...
There are 9 seven segment displays, that is 63 channels right there to control... And there is another 20+ LEDs left to control, and a few buttons...
In the end you have to design a circuit and code that has independent control of almost 100 channels to do this right...
Even smaller once you place the obligatory 9 seven segment displays in there, and a power source...
then you're really only talking about 22 channels.
No, you are then using 22 outputs and PoV to control the 100+ channels, you still need to control the same number of channels you just reduced the number of output lines used to accomplish the control...
I think that's just arguing semantics. To me channel does not mean LED segment.
I seriously think it shouldn't be too hard to fit a pair of A6276 surface mount drivers and a small uC into the prop. I could design a simple circuit and write the code just to have something out there as a starting point.
hey, thats great man quite a start for the original and egyptian timer now if only i can find a way to link the bargraphs to the circuits and add the buttons and we will be set, then all we need to do is get it programed
Bar graphs and extra lights would go on the other cathode connections and be really easy to set up. It should be possible to build all of the timers with a single circuit with slight modifications to the wiring and code.
I've rummaged through my part boxes to get something breadboarded up. Once I have a test circuit I will most likely have to make changes to the circuit diagrams. Once I have something solid I will post more details.
But anyway, exoray I hope you get the boards done soon! I still have a few Slider timers kits….:love
