Intro to 7 segment displays

In this video I introduce the different types of 7-segment displays that can be used with SimVimX in your X-Plane home cockpit. Although I go over many options, you will see why the TM1637 & MAX7219 based displays are the preferred types.
I forgot to mention, the IC2 interface is NOT supported with SimVimX
