Help appreciated! Looking for a pressure gage schematic

[duntov]

Im looking for a schematic that will input a voltage from a transducer like a pressure gage and display the value in a LED or LCD display. Can anyone help?
Thanks!

You could build a digital voltmeter, but an easier solution is probably to use a PIC driving an LCD text module, this will be far more versatile. A PIC16F819 is an 18 pin PIC with 10 bit analogue to digital converters, this would be ideal.

Thanks for your help! I am interested in programming the PIC16F819 in a high level language ( C or Basic ) not assembly. Your WinPicProg looks just what I need to program the Pic. Im new to electronics and also need a programming kit. I followed the link from your website to DonTronics for a programming kit and saw the DIY kit 96 & DIY KIT-149B USB PICmicro Programmer Kit. Do you know if your WinPicProg will work with both or either programmer kits?

Thank you for your time & help!

The KIT 96 will work with WinPicProg, it's just a P16PRO40 - a USB programmer (actually a true serial programmer with a USB adaptor) does the actual programming using an onboard processor. The PC software simply transfers the data over the serial link - so needs to be specifically designed for that particular programmer.
