need help in lookup

hi joe, im using dsr display which has ic 74hc164 and 4 wires for each digits now i know there no ports output to count digits throu the lcd ,and ur code it works just 1 digit when i plug 1 dgit wire to the GND, i wanted to enable each port to change digits for shiftout and i use pic16f84, sorry for bothering you that much joe and thank you so much for teaching me ,


define _config _INTRC_OSC_NOCLKOUT & _WDT_ON & _PWRTE_ON & _MCLRE_OFF &_CP_OFF & _BODEN_OFF & _LVP_OFF

OK, it took some hair pulling as I am not really good with arrays.
here is a sample as to how to do this. What you want to do is load the variable with the value to display, and display that digit, then do the next and the next. Using an array to hold the value:

Goldfish var byte ' cause it's late and I am tired
Digit var byte[4] ' 4 variables all named digit, an array
index var byte    ' a counting variable
displays var word ' from the program
digit_output var byte 'from the program
' this code changed from program
loop:
DIGIT_OUTPUT = DISPLAYS dig 0 ' Load Thousands Digit
READ DIGIT_OUTPUT, DIGIT.0    ' Convert and Load Thousands Variable
DIGIT_OUTPUT = DISPLAYS DIG 1 ' Load Hundreds  Digit
READ DIGIT_OUTPUT, DIGIT.1    ' Convert and Load Hundreds Variable
DIGIT_OUTPUT = DISPLAYS DIG 2 ' Load Tens of Units Digit
READ DIGIT_OUTPUT, DIGIT.2    ' Convert and Load Tens  Variable
DIGIT_OUTPUT = DISPLAYS dig 3 ' Load Ones of Units Digit
READ DIGIT_OUTPUT, DIGIT.3    ' Convert and Load Units Variable
' notice the digits were changed to reflect the array variable name
'here is where we do the magic
for index = 0 to 3  '  loop 4 times
Goldfish = digit[index]  ' load goldfish with the digit values
shiftout SDO,SCLK,4,[Goldfish\8]  ' send the values to display
portC.0[index] = 1 ' here we energise each display digit in sequence
PAUSEUS 900 ' this number alters the brightness verses display flash rate
PORTC=0 ' this blanks the numbers between loading data so it does not read 8888
next index ' select the next digit
 GOTO LOOP

you notice the word index in red, this syncronizes the digit selection on portc with the data being shifted out.

thnk u joe i will try it out and try to pull some hair with it,lol
