    If you can find the relevant bits in two separate programs (reading the ADC and writing the LCD), then you should be able to combine them.

    Since you're "on chip", then everything is highly specific to your particular hardware setup, like how everything is wired together, what tools you're using etc.

    It's best to work on small bits of code at a time. The scope for messing things up is pretty high and the means by which you can analyse what went wrong are very limited.

    Like I said before, you've got a nice LCD display which can be your friend when it comes to debugging. So getting that bit right first will make the next steps a lot easier since you have some chance to use the LCD for debug as well as output.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    Any tips for the conversion anyone??.

    Salem, you always simplify things best for me. Could you tell me in lay man terms the concept of conversion from the AC signals that the sensors receives, to Digital form that the chip can read? Am i asking too much? =X

    What you meant by "nice LCD" ??
