Paul,

Given the prices for these smart LED chips, I think I'll stick with the
cheap ones for this first project.
Some of the models cost twice as much as the microchip!!

Cancel my order! I don't want no stinking seven segment
displays in my airplane :-) I'll pay $100 extra
to get these beautiful displays. Once you see them
you will agree. Check with the distributors on the HP
versions. Those prices seem way too high. These display chips
have been around for 15 years at least.

What do you guys have against transflexive monochrome LCD ?
Easily readable in bright sunlight and at night (with green LED backlight).
If 16x1 chars is not enough, there's 16x2, 20x2, 20x4, etc.
See Digikey catalog. Optrex. Rather easy to interface to.
Ed, if you go this route I can send you a code snippet to show the interface.

I'll buy that. Room for expansion.
