I found that. More than once. That's for an LED
bargraph. I'm
looking for a circuit that operates an old-fashioned galvanometer-
style panel meter with a needle that swings from side-to-side.
I can invent my own - a simple ladder D-to-A to produce a variable
voltage out of the parallel port. I was hoping to save the math
and use resistor values that someone else has calculated, but after
two days of searching, I guess I _will_ have to go do it myself.
Somewhere in my junk boxes, I have some .5" tall by 1.5" wide signal
meters that I think I pulled from a dead CB radio, c. 1978 (pre-40-
channel). The plane of the needle swing is parallel to the floor,
and the needle has a 90-degree bend at the end, so you see a .2"
tall vertical line slide from left to right as the signal improves.
If I can find it, it'll mount perfectly in a 3.5" blank faceplace.
Now to excavate the old parts!

Well, please let us know if and how you get this working. I would love to
have something like this as well!

In The Beginning there was nothing, which exploded - Yeah right...
Calculating in binary code is as easy as 01,10,11.
