Anybody??

Or is it not possible??

Mabie I should elaborate...

I would hope it is possible to define which PIC pins are assigned to a column (or row for that matter) and in what order. Then just do a "CASE" type lookup of the various elements of whatever I want to display on the 8x8 LED matrix, and write them to the 8 bit Alias that is connected to the display.

If It is not possible... then does one just have to individually set or clear each pin in the 8 bit word and then "turn on" the corresponding row or column to light up that part of whatever I want to display?

I understand how to do it if I were to use the 8 bits sequentially of a given 8 bit port, like PortA, but I want to "mix and match" which pins represent each of the 8 bits and then define an Alias that I can write the code to.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
(I wish the PBP manual had more real world examples, hint to ME labs for their next printing)
