The LED outputs on the OI are +5 volts.
The digital inputs on the Robovation (I'm forcing myself to say that) accept 0 to 5 volts.
So, all you people who know more than I do, would it be feasible to use the LED outputs as Robovation inputs, letting it do some more interesting things and display them? Worth the effort?

Yes, but a more robust solution would be to use the TTL or programming port on the mini controller to decode the dashboard output. Using the mini controller to decode the 8 LEDs won't buy you much because it would only give you 8 output lines to drive other LEDs. If you use the dashboard port you still have all 16, plus the PWM outputs which could drive a servo as an analog gauge.
