With such a nice request, and full, in depth description of exatcly what it is you want AND how you think a microcontroller may help you, I can't belive that people on this forum are not falling over themselves to help!!
Come on guys, this guy needs, no deserves, our undivided attention! What are we waiting for!!!??? :wink:
Seems that you are new to PICs so I guess a good starting place would be Nigels Tutes, but that might still be a little too advanced....
I guess you'll want this chrno meter output displayed on a lcd or maybe couple 7-seg led displays?
Would be cheaper to interface a PIC with the little IC that converts binary (on the input) to correctly display that digit on the 7-segs, but an lcd would be neater.
As for coding - go check out ASM for PICs (google, Nigels). Once you start making some progress just post here - we are always around to help
Ok, maybe I was a little harsh yesterday, but I must admit, I am getting a little "peeved" by the "I am doing a degree, do it for me" posts.
I have personally had a "student" use MY work as part of his degree (no nasty comments Nigel!!! My code's not THAT bad!!), so I am a little bitter, ok I have admited it!!
Basically, if people can demonstate that they actually would like your help, rather than demanding it, then I am more than willing to help.
A little bit more information would also help "oil the wheels" :wink:
So well done bsodmike, you gave the answer that I should have..... and..... shuffles feet and looks down..... sorry Jim Doe

Chill out! - you've only been here three weeks, you'll be bursting a blood vessel before you make four weeks 8)
Bear in mind that many users don't fill their location in, which really pi**es me off! - as you don't have a clue where they might be, and if English is their first language or not. So generally, you need to give them the benefit of the doubt, consider how your posts might read if you were typing them in a totally foreign language?.
I'm not talking French or German here, which you may be familiar with from school, but languages I've never even heard of :lol:
:lol: You are probably right, I must cut down on the black cof.....sip....fe :wink:
I have also been on other forums in the past, but they were almost 100% "do it for me" posts, so it's nice to find a forum that actually talks about PIC's, anyway I have said sorry, been to my room, missed my dinner, had my pocket money stoped and everything, so can I come back down now please? :wink:
