LCD Data on portA and portB

[NavMicroSystems]

You can also manually control the LCD.. .with out using LCDout.

Of course you could,
even without using a PIC
by simply having some DIP-Switches on the Data Lines and a PushButton on the Clock Line.

(Dwayne, you remember my very first PROMmer)

If you would like to use the Power of PBP's LCDOUT
(like all the Modifiers etc.)
you would have to write your own LCD Routines

I feel cutting some traces on the PCB and soldering some wires or building an adapter cable will be less time consuming.

BTW
the "Dwayne Method" will only work if there is nothing connected to PortB.3
(Means you are wasting one PortBit)
