Want one of these; search for “SGVU-L” @ ebay.
I am planning to use this in displaying RF-power measurement, but it needs some modifications. So stay tuned……………
Here is some more info:
I got this of ebay as a kit. PCB’s are very nicely build. Kit comes with LM3916 chips, which is a semi logarithmic VU meter LED driver.
Cascading six of these don’t really make any sense if you want to use it as a meter for readings.
So, I have replaced the LM3916 with one LM3915 logarithmic 3 dB/step driver chip for the ten first LED segments, then five LM3914 linear LED driver follows for the rest of LED segments.
Of course this is for one channel only, so you need 2 x LM3915, and 10 x LM3914 for doing both channels.
