I'm working on an LED matrix project that involves displaying data on an 8 x 80 LED matrix (multiplexed of course). I was planning on storing the data to be displayed in hex form in my PIC18F252s EEPROM, which I would then be able to look at using .Bit0 or .Bit1 to see if an LED needs to be on (for example, $AA in binary is 10101010, which would mean that every other LED is on). The only problem with this plan is that the EEPROM on the 18F252 is only 256 bytes, leaving room for less than 125 rows of LEDs, which just isn't enough.

If anyone knows a good way to somehow compress data, that might be usefull, but I was thinking about storing the display data in arrays, that way I could easily switch between different messages.

So, the real question now:
Is there any way to store a bunch of data in an array on one line?

In java you can do this:
Int[] test = {5, 6, 7};

Can you do anything like that in PBP? It would make coding much easier, as opposed to going like this:
message[0] = $AA
message[1] = $2C
message[2] = $4D

and so on...
