Is there any sensor, that can be used to read the readings displayed on an LCD and can be controlled by an MCU?? I'm using PIC 18F4520

    Okay,
    Would you please post little bit of more details ? like what you're trying to implement & how?

    I wanna know why do you need a sensor to read the lcd & control it with MCU ?

    i have a device (some equipment) which already has an LCD display and it displays a few digits.. I want to capture those digits without tampering the device, and display it on to another LCD which is connected to my MC unit..

    I thought, I could use a sensor for that.. I don't have much knowledge about it though. So, if there is any other alternative or if we can use a sensor, then please tell me how?

    Without tampering the device, I don't see any possible way.

    Okay! Any camera that can be controlled via an MCU?

    Yes, you can.
    You can connect digital cameras with Arduino & control it.

    I hope you know "Arduino".If not, then no need to worry; It's never too late, right ?

    Some links that might help you out :

    I know about arduino but i don't use it.. I'm using PIC-DB-V2 (I don't think board makes any difference because I'm able to program everything that can be done on arduino *basics) and to generate a hex file, i'm using MikroC pro

    can you elaborate your knowledge regarding controlling a camera?? I mean to say, what kind of camera will be suitable to get the digits?
