About LED Sign V2.5

This is the newest version of LED Sign. It has all the known bugs fixed and is a little more efficient than previous versions. Version 2.5 also has (by popular demand) an option to specify the size of the LED's. Also added two new colors, white and cyan.

Released: December 27, 1995

Features

• Script controlled
• Different colored text (red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, and white)
• Different fonts
• Different transistions
• Displays the current time/date
• Variable LED size
• URL links - takes you to another page if you click on the sign while a certain message is being displayed (Try it! click on the sign while it is displaying the blinking "Sun MicroSystems")

Usability

This applet was designed to be "user friendly". Everything you see the sign displaying is run entirely by a script. No changes to the source code is necessary to get the sign to display a new message or use the different transitions. In fact, if you want to use this applet all you really need is the byte code for the applet.

Here is the Demo script that the sign above is running.

Flexibility

The LED applet also has a large amount of flexibility. The size, size of border, color of border, size of the LED's, and even the font that the sign uses are all configurable. The size and border parameters can be easily set in the applet "command line" in the HTML. The font is specified by a data file that contains the shape for each letter. The font data file can have as many or few characters as needed. If a character is used in the message but is not in the font data file, then it will be substituted by a space.
