Art,
If you need a couple more pins, you could use the internal oscillator of the 16F628.
Then if you move the LCD Enable line from RB3 to RA6, you can use the CCP module (HPWM) to control the brightness of the LCD backlight.
Just an thought.

Very Cool!!!
Nice project!!!
Great drawing also!!
I've been able to save pins on a keypad by using an A/D input and configure the keypad wires to 11 resistors in a series voltage divider ladder.
No button pressed is a specific voltage output from the resistive divider circuit.
Every pad button pressed produces its own voltage.
FUN STUFF!!! :-]
Hi Art,
I feel that way every time I make something that works![]()
If you do not believe in MAGIC, Consider how currency has value simply by printing it, and is then traded for real assets.

Gold is the money of kings, silver is the money of gentlemen, barter is the money of peasants - but debt is the money of slaves

There simply is no "Happy Spam" If you do it you will disappear from this forum.
And it still works ten years later!!

Should have made a special character for #.

Lol, that would use more memory defining the character,
and sending it to LCD CGRAM.
So long as I had the memory, you are right
I think I could have also flogged pin RA4 to use any time other than when LCDOUT is printing.
Most importantly, I should not have done this:
Which is why I'm suprised it STILL works! Too bad if I ever dropped it.
Now I have to hope this thread get buried again!![]()
