If you are using it just temporarily, perhaps a self contained data acquisition - LCD would do the trick. A cheap Parallax SX chip (aprox $3.50 + $14.00 for a 4 line LCD (ebay) ) and use the SX/Basic example in the SX-IDE. That way you don't have to add any unnecessary code that may interfere with your actual program.

With the SX/B LCD project, you can make your own serial LCD for cheap. But I left out the price of the Programmer and that will set you back another $30 to $50.00. The SX/B Serial LCD is similar to older Seetron units without any bells and whistles. For the price you would be better off purchasing a Serial LCD from Seetron or somebody else.
