    Default More Config options with LCDout

    My wish list includes the ability to choose data ports on a PIC that you want, not confined to one port, or at least not just the upper 4 or lower 4 bits of a port.

    Kronosrobotics ( http://www.kronosrobotics.com/tuter.shtml ) has a line of microcontrollers (repackaged PICs) with built-in Basic compiler that allows any pin on the lcd to be connected to any port.bit on a PIC (for the 18F252 and 18F452), so it is possible.

    And if it is possible, why can't PBP allow this as well?

    Because it costs a lot of codespace in order to do it, but in normal circumstances, it is possible to arrange the data-port to a LCD in 4 bits in one nibble !

    If this it not possible, ypu have a lot of other problems !

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.
