16F84 serial slave code
OK, two things, 16F84 is rapidly becoming part of history and there is a lot of stock around to use yet. I have a lot of various types of LCD's of the standard 44780 type and it would be great to dedicate several 84's to becoming an 8 bit LCD driver with serial in essentially making it a serial display. Sure, serial displays are common now, but they are still $30 or more and basic 44780 displays are available in surplus outlets for $1. I'd rather save a couple of bytes of mem by using the display in 8 bit mode.
Second, is the LCDOUT modifiable so that a standardized PIC to LCD pin out can be used? There are about as many ways to wire an LCD as there pins. I like to use B0-B7 and A0-A2 for all 8 bit LCD configurations with 84, 627,628. And, what is the code standard for a serial in LCD module, it gets very confusing out there, everyone has an opinion.
Move along, these aren't the droids we are looking for
