Hmm, then I'm not following, which doesn't really matter as long as you get what you need but in a previous post you wrote
Can anyone think of another chip that has a CCP module, USART and 8 output pins on a PORTA/B/C which doesn't have the CCP/Rx pin?
On the 16F690 the RX-pin is on PortB.5 and the CCP1 pin on PortC.5. I thought you were using those pins for their peripheral functions therfore not allowing 8 consecutive bits on either of those two ports - but I've must have misunderstood.
