shared data lines for LCD and LED'S?

[nomad]

Thanks, I just wanted to see if there was something obvious I was missing.

The lcd is one of the standard hd4470? parallel 2 line types, so I don't think the 16f914 is going to help me there, funny you mention it though, as I just recieved some 917's and 946's (same family)

Thanks again for the input.

lol, now that I asked I found in microchips App note AN234, (Hardware Techniques for PICmicro Microcontrollers)... there's a section about sharing LCD data lines for other i/o.

day late dollar short? :-) time to at least browse all the app notes.. some darn good stuff in there..
