Hi,
I'm not normally a big fan of 'realistic' GUI's, but I made this just to push at the limits of my Photoshop/SM GUI abilities. It's a simulation of one of those mechanical counter thingies, like you get in gas meters etc...
There are properties for the animation speed and the threshhold point where the digits flip over.
Not sure it's much use for anything, but I wanted to see how easily I could display numbers without needing to rely on which fonts the end user has installed. Feel free to use or adapt this any way you like.
.. for added realism, maybe I should model the clicking sound they make when the digits flip over! 😈

Fantastic... any chance we get it half size?

Should be easy enough by playing with the destination view areas for the bitmaps - might blur things a bit with the anti-aliasing though. If I get time I'll go back to the original photoshop files and resize the bitmaps.

I like it! 😍

I've got two of these mechanical ones 🙂
They are best if they flip another on one rotation

looks awesome!

Glad you like them 🙂

Yup, for a quick jump to a new value, all digits flipping in one would be better - just a proof of concept really, I don't have a use in mind for them as such.

Troggie i made my own strips(Original size):

Glad to be useful.
Nice looking GUI - lots of handy info in a small space. I see Peak, RMS, Dynamic Range, Clipping - what's the mysterious strip at the bottom with one LED (Phase correlation?) - be great to see it in action!
sunsynth ·
Yeah - ur right 😉
U will see it in action soon - it's the 1st one i made with only one central master ticker and one Top-redraw!
A neat side effect is: 100% Zoom = 2.5% CPU, 200% Zoom=Quad size= 3.5% CPU use... 🙂

Oh, I meant the physical ones with wheels. I have 2 from old tape players. If they flip on one rotation it's easy to couple them 🙂
Cool work, cheers brb with a 3 digit display 🙂
