Hi.
I am about to use a PIC16F688 which is a 14 pin package. Porta and Portc are only 6 bits wide. I want to count pulses on a pin (such as porta.0) and send the result to portc. Unfortunately the number is goign to end up at about 100 so I need a 7 bit wide port. I also want to use another pin to toggle to signify that a count has taken place (simply changing the state high or low on each count command).
So how do I combine two ports to write out a byte?

Thanks
