Hi everybody,

I built an accelerometer instrument for my airplane using a 16c84 as the processor, an ADXL 50 as the sensor and a MAX chip as the A/D. It displays  accelerations in the range -9 to +9 G in 0.5 G increments on a 7 segment LED. Everything worked well until installed in the airplane: the LED is not bright enough to be viewed in the sun!

I am thinking of using a LCD display like those found in cheap calculators, as I only need to display numbers and it has to be small. The parts I found in catalogs are all attached to an A/D. Anybody knows where to find such a device or how to use the ones in the calculators? Any help will be greatly appreciated!
