I need a schematic of a digital thermometer, i am using an LM34 sensor and a PIC16F917 microcontroller hooked up to a seven segment display. Does anyone have one?

Nigel's PIC Tutorial Page
Multiplexed Seven Segment Display using PIC16F877A and HI-TECH C | eXtreme Electronics

Code:
#include <pic.h>

#define	DIGIT1	RA0	
#define	DIGIT2	RA1	
#define 	DIGIT3	RA2	
#define	ON			0
#define	OFF		1

/* 
RA5 - Segment a
RC5 - Segment b
RC4 - Segment c
RC3 - Segment d
RC2 - Segment e
RC1 - Segment f
RC0 - Segment g

RA4 - Thermistor

I am using 3 seven segment displays. ckshivaram, that code seems like it is exactly what i need to make my thermometer work. Do you by any chance have a schematic i can use to hook everything up? I tried hooking something up and my temperature sensor is heating up extremely quickly and burning out so i have to try something different.
 

You are not gonna quit that because you dont know how to connect the sensor. Get the sensor data sheet and lookup its spec.
 

see the link Exploring the Embedded Technology......... A SCHEMATIC OF DIGITAL THERMOMETER USING LM 35 AND 877A IS THERE. LM 34 IS FAHRENHEIT DETECTOR.IT GENERATES 10mV FOR 1 DEGREE FAHRENHEIT.That is for tEMP OF 30 DEGREE CELCIUS ,EQUIVALENT FAHRENHEIT IS AROUND 100 AND SO THE SENSOR OUTPUT VOLTAGE IS SOMETHING AROUND 1 V.WHATS THE PACKAGE U USED.AND U NEED TO CONNECT THE O/P TERMINAL TO THE ADC INPUT.
