not any more...

>Orange displays I can do.  Diming starts getting harder but possible by
changing the duty cycle since it's a multiplexed display... tying into the
dash dimmers...  yeah, let's put an AtoD converter in there just to see how
dim the dash display is.

what advantage do we gain by this, anyway?  seeing the duty cycle... hmmm, I
suppose makes sure you're not banging your head against the 95% or whatever
limit, what else?

How about calibrating an interface to, say, the fuel gauge and adding a
switch?  any time you want, voila! instant duty cycle gauge, dimmed and
orange, the rest of the time a mundane indicator.  What else could be
monitored this way?  I've already got the "upshift" indicator wired to tell
me my fogs are on, how about a coolant gauge that monitors outside temps?

or a clock that tells you how long till your audi is paid for?

I should get a life.
