I may not have the number of zeros correct but you get the idea, the size of the code shrunk to 1/4 in size.

EDIT: I'm getting sick of this editor. Everything looks fine when i click Preview post then when I post it looks completely different and I have to go back and add linefeeds etc. And the code window that looked perfect in the preview, with horizontal scroll now looks like crap. Aaarg....what am I doing wrong.

I already tried your solution and it works but I just wondered why you couldn't do it the way I posted. The reason why you see a lot of zeros in my code is that im testing a new glcd that is only line addressable so you have update the full width of the display + it also allows multi line updating of the display witch it what I posted. I was just trying to maximise the speed of the screen update.

Thanks for the reply Sphere.

Hi,
Which PIC are you using? If it has a MSSP module you can use that to speed up the communcations conciderably. There's no commands available to use it, like with HSEROUT, but once it's setup it's pretty trivial. There's an example on MELABS site that shows you how to work it.

/Henrik.

The pic im using is a PIC18LF46K22 and it does have an MSSP module. Just a question on using the MSSP in terms of speed, are we talking 2x 3x 4x speed increase. I can currently completely fill the screen in less than a second.

If it's to output screen to a GLCD or whatever else, I would ever use multiple shiftout but a LookupTable (in the codespace OR EEPROM) + Shiftout Loop (or MSSP), way more code efficient, more flexible too.
