Hello Puma,
Puma>>I need some help on this one.
Its not a real case but it could be a real case if it where possible.
Lets say I have an application with consists out of 2 pic's.
And I have an 16x2 LCD or an 14x4 LCD, doesn't matter for this example.
Then I have enough pins left on each PIC to drive an LCD parallel in 8bit mode with the lcdout command.
Now it comes: Can I connect those 2 PIC's in parallel with the LCD and have Pic1 put info on line1 and pic2 info on line2 (in case of 16x4 lcd pic1 puts info on line 1&2 en pic 2 Puts info on line 3&4)
If it is possible any thoughts?<<
Never thought of that.... I guess i would suggest putting diodes on both chips for the pins going to the LCD. That way there can be some protection...give it a try and tell us!
