Hi I am working on a digital Speedo project. I need to display speed reading in 3:1 digits (three digits and one decimal). Digits should be big enough to read from distance..(as Honda Civic has in its dashboard)
I am thinking about using PIC16F628A for communication. But I am not sure about type of LCD I should use either a character based (like 20x7) where by joining lot of black dots i can make a digit, or a graphical display..
So you need to suggest me now..
1. What kind of LCD should i use graphical or character
2. PIC16F628 is enough or not
Please note that I played only with this PIC till today in JAL, i never used a graphical LCD..
3. Availability and cost of the LCD you suggested
attached is a sample display which i am looking for..
