Nope, no side-to-side flashy action. I'd have already slapped him around the head with a wet kipper if they did

cheers

You HAVE slapped me with the kipper, and that was just for the static LED's

Bode, yeah, sure mate, work has slowed to an incredible halt lately, due to a big uni project, but hopefully I'll be able to sort you out with something. Do you know much electronics? At the moment, I think the best way is if I get it running to a point where I am happy, then I'll send you the required chip, preprogrammed (as you can't reprogram the thing itself, I'm in the process of a custom driver for it) and tell you how to wire everything up. That way, I'll be able to knock up a howto, and just tell whoever wants one to get teh chip from me, or if they can burn chips, give them the source code.

That sounds great!
The IC is in a brand new 480 dash. A friend of mine has a fried dash wich will be fixed by a colleague at volvo.
He will use the new dash untill his own is fixed. After that I get the new one.

I am a complete n00b at electronics but with a good how-to-guide I can do a lot.
