programming a fuel gauge for my car?

[kflick]

Hi all,

I suspect I'm barking up the wrong tree since smartie seems to need a PC to run a panel, but I've been proved wrong before!

I'm hoping to make a custom LCD (or other display tech...) panel to show the fuel level in my car. The fuel sender is a variable resistor, so I need a controller to interpret that into a bar graph with "E" on one end and "F" on the other.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!!

You need a μController for this... LCD Smartie works under windows PC so it can not help on this case unless you have a car PC.
