This week I got some MC33290. I was scared to try it with a simple transistor level converter in car, because I don't want to damage my ECU.
Today I tried it in my car with MC33290 and it works fine!
@Mesuge: Thanks for that hint! Now I ordered such a display (a Sharp LS020..). I found this information/libs to drive it (without arduino):
Display Programming . Maybe I will experiment with that in future. But for a car gauge it's to small.
