Hi, so I'd like to use an RGB Negative 20x4 LCD (HD44780) http://www.adafruit.com/products/498 and arduino micro to display:
CPU Temp
GPU Temp
CPU Vcore
CPU VRIN
off a haswell i7-4770k/ud3h system. I'd use the adc from arduino micro, using actual hardwired voltage points, but I'm not sure how to get that to display on the LCD.
I also don't know how to get cpu temp or gpu temp on the lcd smartie, but I'd prefer to use HWinfo to do it.
Thanks

Re: How to Display CPU Temps and ADC Voltage?
Got almost the same setup as you, arduino nano with a 20x4 hd44780 negative display from ebay.
Found a sketch that emulates a matrix orbital display.

This works just fine, but you would not be able to change color or brightness on the display. (So why waste money on a expensive display?
)
If you decide to go my way you should know theres an issue with animated and custom chars with the code. Follow the fix under issues on the site.
