Let me just start out by saying I am completely new to this.
I was wondering if there were any microcontrollers available for the LCD modules to control/display simple inputs from sensors. Specifically what I want to try first is 2 temp. sensors and 1 Volt meter for a vehicle (10-15V range). I would like to be able to label each variable and display them on one LCD panel (most likely a 20x4). Eventually I MAY venture into relay operation (possibly via a 633). The only stipulation is that I DON'T want to put a full blown PC in my car.
I know that this is possible because I've seen it done on the competition circuit. I was hoping someone could steer me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
