If you won't listen to others in the forum, why ask? For information on segmented LCD: Design segment LCD: link to this video Drive segment LCD: link to this video Now if you want to listen to reasonable people, you would buy one of these: https://www.digikey.com/products/en/optoelectronics/display-modules-lcd-oled-graphic/107 Pick one and look on its datasheet for how to drive it. Buy a driver and attache it to your atmel chip. With all that out of the way, it's time to draw graphics. Your choices are to with use an existing graphics library, or roll your own. Out of the existing ones, you have ugui, littlegvl, qt, and others. You can read on how to use those libraries by searching them on the web.

Decoding LCD 7 segment display Wanted to post the resources that helped me in this endeavor. There is very little out there. In my case I decoded the display of this torque adapter which uses the MCU of the first datasheet below.
