G meter, accelerometer -LCD output, PIC16F684, C source code

[Sophie1990]

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
