Simple Circuit 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) .

Switch Configures Bare-Bones, Two-Digit Display - 12/21/95 EDN-Design Ideas A project that includes a stage with three selectable gains (0.1, 1.0, and 10) requires that the rotary-gain switch also function to illuminate one of three LEDs. These panel-mounted LEDs serve to indicate the gain in use. This arrangement requires two switch sections—one for selecting the op amp’s gain-set resistor and one to light the corresponding indicator LED. The circuit in Figure 1 requires only one more switch section to provide a true, two-digit, seven-section numeric LED display.
