There are several LCD display units available commercially with the
LCD (typically 2 x 16 character rows), drivers and temporary
memory, and optional backlights. They are driven by ASCII coded
character digital byte-parallel input assemblies. PIC and Atmel
based counters can output ASCII according to count plus including
controllable legends for whatever purpose, all under the
microcontroller internal program.
I agree with all your points against LED's except they are very simple to
use and that's what I need for now.
The displays at the aade.com site are very elegant.
If you or someone can recommend which LCD display to use and a site wich a
good tutorial then that would be fantastic.
The whole point of homebrewing for me is to learn how these things work and
be able to design and make changes. Otherwise I can buy all the gear on
Ebay but not learn anything.
