Hi,

I'm doing a programming project in C source code, using an accelerometer as a G meter which outputs the G value to a Hitachi 44780 LCD display, using a PIC16F684. I am new to C programming so am struggling. Does anyone know any good free C compilers?
I want the program to measure the G force created by the movement of the accelerometer (only in one axis), and then hold and display the highest reached value for that individual movement when movement ceases.

Also if I would like to output text to the LCD display, but do not know the command that does this?

I have tried to look at other code that people have used but do not understand all of the functionality.

Thanks for any help you can offer,

Sophie

 

You can get Microchips entire MPLAB IDE for free. It comes with free C compilers and a pretty good development environment to help from beginning to end.

And what accelerometer are you using? I cant seem to find it on your schematic.
