    Default Using LCD from Mechatronics Demo Board

    Hi,
    I have a Microchip's Mechatronics Demo Board and I am trying to use on board LCD with PBP. In the PBP manual it says that: "If a 4-bit bus is used the top 4 LCD data bits must be connected to either the bottom 4 or top 4 bits of one port."
    Now the problem is that LCD is already pre-connected to the PIC and as it says in the data sheet fist 4 ports are COM0-COM3. So I took the board and it looks that COM0 is on pin RB4, COM1 is RB5, COM2 RA2, COM3 RD0. Is it possible to run this LCD in PBP with such connections? How should I set DEFINEs?
