dnb,

I'm looking into what your suggesting above at the moment, only i'll be using an arm7 based atmel micro and a VFD display. We use the VFD on a product at work so with any luck of should be able to buy the display for a reasonable price. Its 320X32 dots, so loads of resolution, the idea was as its long and thin it would fit nicely under a speedo/revcounter. It will be a lot easyier to read than an LCD too.

Looks very nice that

Liking the look of that... I have possible other uses if displays are not too expensive

Pretty sure we are paying under Â£20 in volumes, which is dirt cheap. the ARM 7 MCU's come in at under Â£4 a piece.

Nice.

What's the interface to the display?

pug106, sorry for hijacking this thread! $:-\$

Serial, basically a clock and data line, just send it all the dot informatin in one big lump, problem is the dots are not all in order, they are blocks of randomly placed groups, makes the software a bit of a pig!
