Programming micros is hard. Im currently programming a PIC18F4520 in C, using MATLAB.
But im sure reading from a 0-5v potentiometer and outputting it to two 7 segment displays, so that when you twist the pot, it counts up in hexadecimal on the displays is easy for you
(dont worry if no-one else understood some of that! )
I use PIC16F877 and PIC16F876. I program in PIC BasicPro and Microcode studio.
In faculty we use Matlab for digital signal processing.
I was learning C++ in 1st year of college, so I forgot some things.
I understand what do you mean. This picture bellow shows how you do that, but there si no potentiometer and only one 7 segment display.

Don't know how to remove the picture of the circuit on the first side.

I think a bit of my brain just melted. Welcome Iggy.

I meant for everyone else reading this wont understand too well
Yeah thats more or less the same setup. Ill have to see if i can dig up a design.
Thats odd cos i learnt C++ in college. Now its all C, VHDL and Java/UML programming.

Tnx everybody for the warm welcome!
Like we are some aliens or something. Hehe
I've tried VHDL when we were programming FPGA Spartan-3A. It was hard for me I didn't like it very much. Neither I don't use Java and stuff like that, but I would like to learn it maybe later.
It's great to talk with someone across the border about things like this.

It is very interesting to see similarities between the 2 of us.
Ive just started using VDHL, its not great, id rather use a simulation package.
Java is much different than anything else ive used because its OO programming but is certainly worth a try.

We all share something - great shoes!
Tnx for the advice,meybe I'll start to learn it in my spear time.
