I want to put an LED strip behind the score windows in an EATPM translite so I can simulate scores or run a stock ticker like display in a font/color similar to the actual display.

Anyone done something like this and/or have recommendations on what I could use to do this?

a programmable led display

A cheap thrift store LCD display(s) and and old computer with the appropriate font? LCD could help light up the back of the translight as well if you coded something to display white (or an image there) and then overlay the scrolling text below. Assuming this is being done in a picture frame with an old translight and not just in a game?)

Quoted from SKILL_SHOT:

a programmable led display

Any idea on where I can get one less than 4" high?

all I see that small are led programmable name badges but they're not very long. I think a bigger one would look cool on top of the head.
