Re: Amplifiers (and voltmeters)
If I were going to do this project, I'd use one of the 16*1 or 20* 1 LCD displays. The PIC chip has a serial port and these displays accept serial port imput. This would let you write:

Time 12:34 PM
then
Temp 72 F 22 C
then
Wind NNE 4 MPH
then
Rainfall 0.2 inch
and so on.

The LCD's are super simple to write to and there are 100's articles how to do it.

The displays are cheap, about $12-$20. You can get carried away and get the 4 line version and put all the data up at one time.

Digikey and other places carry them.
