    Red face Re: LCD Low Power

    Hi kduck,

    How about not turning the LCD on until you actually need it? Set a pin on the PIC as an output and it turns on a transistor that can then supply the power needed by the LCD. Also remember to setup a short time delay for the LCD to stabilize before sending data to it.

    Perhaps tri-stating the pins connected to the LCD would reduce the sleep mode current draw.
