LCD Frequency Counter - This frequency counter module is intended as a "digital dial" frequency readout for portable QRP radio tranceivers. It uses only six standard discrete logic IC's, i.e. no PIC or other microcontroller, no programming to be done, etc. The readout is designed to show kHz from the band edge with 100Hz resolution, i.e.00.0kHz to 99.9kHz. The display updates ten times per second, which I have found to be a comfortable rate for tuning. The current consumption is 1.4mA, very suitable for portable (battery powered) operation. The size of the counter is 2.3 x 1.6 x 0.8 inches (58 x 41 x 20mm) __ Designed by Hans Summers

LCD interface takes two wires - EDN-Design Ideas March 26, 1998 [ NOTE
: File has multiple design, scroll for this one.] Alphanumeric LCD modules can provide an attractive display for a project, but their parallel I/O lines require a large number of outputs from a µC. For example, a direct LCD interface would consume all of the I/O pins of a small µC, such as the eight-pin PIC12C508 from Microchip Technology (Chandler, AZ) .
