Do not be turn off or scare of the electronic circuits, I myself is not an electronic person, just a curious hobbyists..

Can just "follow blindly" the connection, e.g. connect pin 1 here to pin 3 there... that all..


Two ways to obtain this, if you are a DIY person, than can do it cheaply by buying parts and assemble it yrself and that where the fun is...

If you just want the LCD to work like plug and play, then just buy the finished LCD panels with USB ( more expensive... )


Everything else is software/driver driven...

I've got my hands on an LCD and tried out LCD Smartie, through both Parallel port and Arduino (USB).

Hi Eric, nice to see that u r carrying the USB LCD product.. sometimes ppl just want the LCD at their desktop without the hassle of soldering, programming or finding a case... only very few ppl are interested in DIY / Modding stuff

I'll add yr WTS link to the first page...

If you need 2 to 3 temp sensors, you can add them to the free analog pins...

Attached is the pic with Atmega 328 with LCD module as per the above pins with a IR range sensors, you can easily replaced it with temp sensors..
hmm, i like to have some sensors. but, is that mean the information routed into PC first?

Not need,ed the microcontroller (Atmega328) will read the values from the sensors and display it to the LCD screen without needing any PC at all.. it is a standalone system...
