DIY-EGOR interface

[Seth]

This is something less than what you would probably ultimately want for
an interface, but it is easy enough
to build. It's basically a copy straight out of the National
Semiconductor LM3914 datasheet. I have been planning on making a surface
mount board for a smaller boost gauge, and I have it set to read 0 to 5V
in, but 0 to 1V would be an easy modification. 

my website from when I was considering making 30 element LED
boostgauges... the display would work for DIY-EGOR, if I understand
things correctly.

it is a fair sized jpeg so it might take a bit of time on a modem

the .PDF file of the schematic for the display as set to 0 to 5V via a
voltage divider

ftp://ftp.diy-efi.org/incoming/boost%20gauge.pdf

or 

ftp://ftp.diy-efi.org/incoming/boost gauge.pdf

I guess the %20 is some sort of placeholder???

If this is of interest or could help, just shout. Again, I was going to
do a surface mount version of the PCB so I could get a nice looking
(small) Heads Up Display for boost inside or atop the instrument pod on
my VW.
