Lcd On Porta And Portb

[G8RPI]

Hi Edward,
all the data bits must be on one port to use LCDOUT command.

Regards,
Robert G8RPI.

I DIDNT realize i was in the pbc forum and not the pbp forum dude.


g8rpi, i knew that was the case, as much i hoped it wasnt. thxs for the help though. how does the LCDOUT work, i mean is it just sending serial data to each of the 4 data lines used on the lcd + the control bits? is it ASCII code? i was hoping i could call a byte of data from the eeprom , sort of like a sequencer that can have defined ports. i need porta.0 porta.1 porta.2 portB.3 to be the 4 data lines to the lcd.

basically can i use 4 byte long variables to drive the data lines on the lcd?

thanks for your time

Then you should have deleted your post in the PBC section before posting here.
Now you are getting responses to the same question in two different categories and it is hard for all members to keep track of the discussion.

..LCDOUT
The fastest way would be to cross the wires of B3 and A3 and use the built in Routines.
