Really?  I did it using one of the internal voltage references
driving the voltage dividers in series with a trimpot to set max scale.
A 499 resistor in parallel with each voltage divider cancels out
differences between the chips enough for monitoring O2 sensors.
There is a picture of my board on

I'll pass your info on to anyone that asks about my version.
Your version is nicer in that it has the brightness control
and a box.  Mind if I add a link to your page?
