Hi there, this is really a great forum such as I'm quite new to electronics and would appreciate your opinion
I'm making a bar graph tachometer for my nephew's soapbox racer, and am using a LM2917 freq.-voltage and an LM3914 to drive the led display. But as I was putting everything together I was just wondering, if I took the time to learn how to program a microcontroller, wouldn't the package be smaller more simple?
Provided programming a microcontroller is a non issue for you, would you use a micro controller for this application or would you stick with the IC's?
Thanks for your help !
