Nice clock/displays, how are you limiting the segment current? Normally there is a pile of resistors to do this, or you use a display driver with programmable current levels. I tried looking for these displays online and ended up at Digikey, unfortunately at $23.48 each that kind of kills it for me, hopefully I can find a better price elsewhere. As for the poor colour rendition on your camera, your overloading the poor sensor, you need to attenuate it heaps. as a quick and crude, put a few sheets of copy paper over them, yes you'll lose heaps of resolution/sharpness, but hopefully the colour will be way better in the video.
The stp08 and the stp16 are 8 and 16 channel led drivers. Output current is adjusted by a single resistor. For this circuit current is set at 20ma. Thanks for watching!
Nice artwork and soldering! I like those stp08 drivers, shift registers with constant current output, great for driving LEDs.
The stp's are excellent! Been my goto drivers for years!
Thanks for watching.
Program will be posted soon!
Updated correct link.
Coming soon, giant 4" display!!😎

Thanks for the tip.
I got the displays from Adafruit and yes they are a little expensive but they make a cool project!!
