Anyone make anything interesting for christmas ?

Over the years I have made small electronic circuit board trees with bunches of leds etc.

Re: LM3914 Help

Hey Dacflyer, Have you looked at these? https://www.allelectronics.com/mas_assets/cache/image/5/7/2/2/22306.Jpg https://www.allelectronics.com/item/bt-3/battery-level-meter/1.htm I have, but they are not programmable.. they just have some preset stuff, and wouldn't be accurate enough for my use.

LM3914 Help
