[sdiy] Make a CS80

[cheater cheater]

Seems we've got a winner! So the right keyword for google to find
those is 'circular bargraph'.... makes a lot of sense... bars that are
circular ... right? Never seen circular bars? Me either. The Chinese
never cease to amaze me.

tricolor (r/g/y), 15 leds, size just right for a knob... but maybe not
wide enough angle, only 1.16 pi radians (210 degrees):

And some less related stuff that I thought was cool...

Not really relevant, but I could use a 'MegaWatts' display on my modular :-)

Just for displaying stuff, this is pretty cool:

and some plasma VU bar graphs!
