    I'll try and explain what i can make out of it.

    I'll need a 16 row flat cable and two 2by8 connector.

    I'll make a cable which looks like

    2x8 connector -> 16 row flat cable -> 2x8 connector.

    I'll need to fold the cable in half to solder the connector on right?

    Connect one end to the 8 pins on the Display II card.

    Thats about all i get. I don't understand the daisy chain part. Are u using the opencockpits pcb for mounting the 7-segments displays?

    Do i connect it to the pcb with the 2x8 connector?

    Makes a perfect tidy solution. Its a 16 line flatcable, and a 2*8 connector.
