Bargraph 101 LED display based on HDSP8820 and AVR AT90S8515
This Bargraph can be modified to run like a knight rider bar, or simply move a light from side to side, its up to you. The project is very simple, few parts involved, even if it contains a micro-controller, its still simple. The source code is written in C and can be compiled using GNU C WINAVR compiler.

I have no problem figuring out how to drive one of these HDSP-8820 displays; in fact I built a device using one in 1986. But where can you buy one these days? All the big distributors say they are obsolete and out of stock.
