 		 #164953 - Signal timing and command timing separate issues
Responding to: ???'s previous message
The commands may take time, but as noted by Jan, the signals may still be very fast.

That was the reason why I asked if the OP had the source code for the A controller. That would allow the addition of extra delays so a microcontroller would be able to poll the signals. Wasting two pins could allow the A controller to say "sample this", and the C controller acknowledge when done. Or the signals could form a serial interface, mirroring the information sent to the LCD.

If the OP does not have control of the A processor, then you would normally need something faster than a microcontroller for picking up the data. A CPLD is probably not an optional solution, but a minimum requirement, unless discrete logic is used.
