Letter-Binary Converter

    Hi
    I have created a letter to binary converter. It is made with INST, this means it is large, but fast.

    If there are any issues, such as malfunctions, notification is also welcome.
    how to use it:
    Enter a number into the keypad. The converter will convert the input into binary, and then display it. The display can hold seven letters at a time, so words are possible. Clear (C) will just clear the display.
    Entering values too fast will result in a situation whereby only the first input will display.

    Version 2

    This version includes a binary to letter display and converter.
    There should not be any bugs, but If there are you are welcome to post them here. any feedback or any suggestions for improvements are very welcome

    pretty cool,would also be cool if it could convert binary to letter.

    I was going to do that as well as this. The reason I did not is that the display would be a lot of work. Especially displaying whole words. I have tried such a display before, but gave up... It is doable, but when it is 11 pm, I don't have enough brain power to think about it.

    i've also tried making a letter display in the past.you use the normal 8 display with an x drawn thru it.

    this is a unfinished idea that i scraped earlier this year due to it being too large.

    I did make an unsaved display like that once... For some reason I thought an M would not display... I don't know why.

    I made something that converts a number from decimal to binary. Now i'm jealous. ._.

    It's the same principle.

    I thought you might be able to use my barcode reader (the main design, i have a feeling you could make it ALOT smaller and probably faster as well), i made it awhile ago but havent had any use for it and never made any kind of display for it

    That's a nice offer, but there would most likely be a lot of implications. My whole creation would need to be redone.

    The next Update I do, I might add memory to it and have some method of turning what is present in the binary display into letters automatically, as an option.
