Looking Good Bill.

Having spent a lifetime working in metric my brain struggles to convert fractions to decimals. I can see this being a great help.

BillTodd:
Yes that's exactly my experience. I've no particular problem with fractions , but converting to decimal is not something i can do in-my-head at any useful speed.

@AdeV I love the name woodworker . it i now the internal name for this 'screen'

def Run(self,):

#self.ScnMan.show("About")
#time.sleep(3)
#self.ScnMan.show("XY")
self.ScnMan.show("woodworker")

AdeV:
Looks really cool!

One thing I'd be tempted to do to it - when you hit your fraction "bang on" (or, at least, as close as you can given there's inevitably some which are 0.00005" "off" from the decimal conversion) - have the scale change colour. That way, when you're woodworking, you can pretend that you're being accurate :lol:

What's that they say about great minds? Anyway great or small, that's what I was thinking :nrocks:

I'm already at 50 on the grey-scale so rather than just dim , I'll try flashing it , if that looks pants , I can easily throw a border around it - or maybe invert ?

[edit] I was going to just use the displayed accuracy , so if display is set to 1dp it'll be +/-0.1mm etc. I'm also planning for a '@zero' output (probably logic level or O/C and relay)

BillTodd:
I'm not entirely sure about the invert high light and it really only works well at lower resolutions .

I have removed the variable gray scale on the scrolling text (it was supposed to be darker at the edges, but without extra work i could only fade the whole character string - I made be able to fade at pixel level if i rewrite the display driver)
