pin name display

37 com0 -- lcd pin1
38 com1 -- 2
19 com2 -- 3
34 seg1 -- 4
35 seg2 -- 5
36 seg3 -- 6
23 seg11 -- 7
18 seg6 -- 8
8 seg21 -- 9
9 seg22 -- 10
10 seg23 -- 11
22 seg16 -- 12
33 seg0 -- 13


dunno why they made the pin assignments ( other than com1,2,3 which the display needs)
page 19 shows the mapping of the segments onto LCDDATA registers depending on the COM/SEG pins

if you get anywhere let me know. Via google i know that the CCS (whisper here when you say that) C compiler can do it,http://www.ccsinfo.com/forum/viewtop...ght=16f917+lcd - i was just hoping my understanding and syntax was limited and theres some workaround in picbasic

good luck
