Re: [Opengc-devel] Linux Hardware

Hi Gene

I looked at that site a while back, but again not convinced it meets the
test. For example, how would you drive an array of 16 7-segment LEDs? OTH
there are some items there that are interesting, but again did not see
anything that would drive/interface to something like an MCP and EFIS panel
as a single package.

Have you used these products in your sim?

Regards
John W.
