In this video I will be having a closer look at commercial mechanical 7-segment displays and find out how they work. Afterwards I will be creating a UA-cam subscriber counter with them and an ESP8266 by not only finding out how the control PCB for the display works, but also by learning about the RS-485 and UART interface. Let's get started!

That sound of listening to mechanical clicks of these displays and even hearing the clicks of relay array is always a pleasure to hear🙌
He's getting more and more insane with that "I will see you next time" thing. :D

How to stress out children taking a timed exam.
I can’t be the only one who starts twitching slightly every time he runs the highlighter over the black pen enough times that the black ink starts to run.
I don't know why, but the highlighter smearing your ink really bothers me on some fundamental level. Great video though!
These kind of displays always remind me of the old clocks and departure boards in Britain, under British Rail.
And to get a price you have to ask for a quote. :( why couldn't they put at least an MSRP or estimated price per digit? It would be good for them to offer a DEV kit for $XX dollars with 4 digits and uart board?
PRICING FOR OCTOBER 2019:
Absolutely brilliant - glued to the screen! Your patience and commitment is inspiring.
10 digits will never be enough for you GreatScott !
You are THE BEST at this out right now. Thanks for all your work. Awesome! 👍
Hi Scott,
Hopefully china starts making these. I'm not buying from a company that won't tell you the price without "getting in touch with a representative"
I need those things in my life! So functional and direct.
Neato! Thanks for showing this in action.
Thank you for making this kind of videos it's priceless!
Ive found the company a while ago through another YT vid. got myself a couple 7 Segments and some flipdots. Also got a single RS485 segement, didn't get to them unfortunatly yet. Thanks for makeing it more clear how they are driven though.

This is pretty interesting especially since we just started messing with USART for our microprocessors course. I might make one of these some time.
