A subframe contraption that reads and displays the coordinates of a pixel relative to a box. There is still a 15-frame latency though the update rate is 60Hz (at max fps). Credit to Cool4Cool for 7-seg conversion and display. Enjoy!

    It's really cool. I couldn't figure out how it works

    Why does it take 15 frames for input? Is it the bin>bcd or the mouse itself?

    @R33sesK1ng Assuming you're referring to the possibility of a multi-color display, preferably a subframe one, it's possible, but it would require tons of work. Coding stuff to go on the display would take even more time, which I don't have.

    @R33sesK1ng I'm not sure what you mean; are you talking about me specifically, or the TPT community?

    If, in TPT, we have the "technology", so to speak, to make amazing machines such as this, what is preventing you from making a working LCD display which, instead of one-color designs, uses multiple colors.

    @DUC, I have a question.

    now all we need is a screen with a decent refresh rate, a mouse driver to go along with this and the screen, and then finally a computer powerful enough to run a gui.

    When you use something different than DMND it will register only the Y coordinate.

    FP might still have some hope.
