Hello MB03+ team,
certainly, not only me think it would be very useful already now to have LED Matrix to display paged in 128K and MB pages. My idea is to have two modes. One for 128K and MB-02+ pages. The second for all 16 MB pages in MB03+. At our disposal, we have a LED map of 8x8 dots on our beloved MB03+.
128K and MB-02+ pages indication:
=============================
First upper row (8 lights) would represent 128K pages. Then 2- 4 rows would display nothing (or may display global audio). Rows 5-8 (32 lights) would display 32 MB-02+ pages= 512 k of memory. Each dot= one page.
16MB pages display on LED Matrix:
============================
32x32= 1024 pages= display of all MB03+ pages possible.
Upper 4 rows would show number of 32 group bundle shown in lower 4 rows where each dot= one page. Examples:
page 30: Upper 4 rows, no light is on. Lower 4 rows, 30th light is on.
page 60: Upper 4 rows, first light from top left is on. Lower 4 rows, 28th light is on.
page 695: Upper 4 rows, 21nd light from top left is on. Lower 4 rows, 23th light is on.
Hope it is clear. If you agree with that concept, can you add it to your to-do list, please?:-)
Or can someone think of a better concept?
P.S. I also though, that number of page could be in a written form. We could divide 8x8 matrix into 4x4x4, which results in 4 fields with 4x4 dots. Which mean ability for LED matrix to display a 4 digit number. But such a small matrix can hardly display nice numbers, it is already too small.
Many thanks
