BCD Complement switch project ideas?

(1/1)

rpetitho:
All I ended up with 12 of these. All are 0-9 BCD complement. Any project ideas?

Back in the early 90s I designed a digital frequency synthesizer add-on to an existing product. The user could dial in frequency using thumbwheel switches almost identical to these.  This system didn't have a computer, and I ended up converting the BCD digits to the binary control word needed by the synthesizer using a series of EEPROMs - one bank to do BCD to decimal, and another to do a reciprocal operation. 

As for projects, how about using them to set a clock? Or build an old-fashioned front panel to a modern ARM embedded board.

Yansi:
There are some interesting ICs for binary/BCD conversion, just as this one:

You can use it with 74ls42 or similar BCD chip.
