Ram,

The job is complex. Here are just a few things to consider. There are dozens more.

1. What do you want to do with the LCD?

2. How are you going to analyze and digitize what you get?

3. How are you going to present the data and control it?

4. If you are using existing circuitry, you must analyze each piece of data you want to display and make it compatible with the LCD.

5. If you are integrating this into an old design, you must dedicate a processor to just gather the data, change it to useful information and send it to the LCD.

6. If you are using a new design, you must integrate a processor that may have to be dedicated to the control of the LCD.

Like I said earlier, it CAN be done but at a cost of hundreds, perhaps thousands of man hours. It is not a trivial task. I would never ask any of your list of geniuses to do it. I doubt they have the time. I know I don't have the time to do it just so you can have an LCD.

Why not use one of these? Then you can simply replace your meter with this and have an LCD.

No design required. Just stick it in and find a place with a varying voltage to send to the two wires. Easy.

hi all
we have done several projects in the high school, and non of them were dificult
we make projects of microcontroler and they were huge all of them had lcd screans ,
today every thing has an lcd screen it is not deficult and i remember that one of the projects was   touch not a key pad.
once i sad that what is dificult is that how to get an electronic Potentiometer becouse the cpu or the microcontroler cant do that thing or any of those adc\dac becouse the voltage of them is 5v only, you cant feed it with 12 volts or 7 v so the remayning is nothing
the lcd or the program or the butones and what ever

Danny,

Those were designed to work for your class, not to be interfaced to anything. Don't let me stop you though. You should go ahead and play with the idea. What I object to is your asking other people to do it for you and then calling it easy when it is not easy.
