Volt/Ammeter LCD panel into Powersupply

I've build the 0-30 VDC Stabilized powersupply and it works like a charm. The schematic I used :

Recently I got interested in building the Volt-Ammeter LCD panel with following schematic :
schematic_th.jpg

But I got confused (do not understand the schematic) which is given to connect these 2 to each other :
connection.jpg

Since my knowledge about electronics is a bit minimal, I got difficulties in understanding that image. Or does it mean I can attach the LCD-panel as following ?

(Click this image to get the altered schematic of LCD-panel-connection)
NOTE
The blue dots mark the connections at the powersupply. In the blue dots is written wich jumperpin of the LCD panel should be attached.

Question
But, if my assumption was right, I understand that the bridge in the schematic is equal to D1 .. D4. The resistor should then be R7.
But I got confused about the capacitor. The only one I can think of, is C1.
(But C1 is a bi-polar cap, and in the connection-"diagram is shown a ceramic cap)

It's just that I want to be sure how to connect the panel display with the powersupply, just to be sure and avoid possible damage..

Anyone who can help me out ?

hi bb,
The capacitor is C1.
J4/3 is the ground [0V] connection for the VM gnd.
J4/2 is measuring the voltage drop across R7, the psu current sense resistor.
J4/1 is measuring the  voltage output of the psu.
J3/1 is the Vsupply to the the VMeter.

The fact that C1 is drawn as a non -polar cap in the 'sketch' is just a quick way of drawing it,,, its a
polarised cap.

Hope this helps, if not re-ask.
Regards
