Hi folks,
I have a question about how to drive a Kingbright 12 segment bar graph display:

Here's the schematic:
I have no problem driving a 10-segment display using an LM3914. The problem I have is that, for example, LEDs B and C are connected in series. Some specific questions:
- I know the LM3914 controls the current... if I drive the two series LEDs B and C as a single LED using an LM3914, will they be driven by the same current as an individual LED (say A)?
- If I wanted to drive LEDs B and C separately, can this be done using an LM3914 and if so, how?
Thanks in advance!
