LCD via 74HC595

[Darrel Taylor]

Would that be possible to use 595_LCD routine (above) with a Hijacked LCDOUT command?
Something like your LCDAnypin hijacking.

Yes it would ... with some modification.

But you may want to check out this post from Guido which uses a 74xx164 shift register and only uses 2 pins on the PIC with the HighJack routines.

Hi coders,
yepp, it was the darn LC display. I tried the 1602, and the code works. *grnnpgf* I spent 5 days of trying for nothing...

Anyway, the next goal is to store strings in PICs memory, and shift them out to the LCD. Darryls "STRINGS.PBP" looks very interesting. I think I use his routines again...

I'll write again.

Thank you Darrel.
Guido's way did not work in my simulator. I will make the real circuit assuming that the simulator could not simulate it.

The circuit and the program work now. It's easily possible to drive up to three LCDs with only three I/O pins of the µC. Darryls "strings.pbp" work with only minor changes for my program. Thanks again, Darryl.
