Dual 7-Segment LED Display

[Pic_User]

I don't want to use a larger than 8 pin PIC, so my thought is for two 7-Segment LED displays.

Can I use a Serial to Parallel to save on pins and having to go with a different PIC or what?

I am lost and can't find anything on google or 3 other forums on this, schematic and IC's would be very much appreciated!

Hi Eric,

Welcome to the MELabs PICBASIC and PICBASIC Pro Forum.

Although you think you have asked a complete question, there is not enough information included, to allow the members to help.

Why do you need a 8 pin PIC? Size, expense, weight, religion?
Serial to Parallel to save on pins?? Do you want to add peripheral components to save on PIC I/O pins? Multiplex?
What do you want the two 7-Segment LED displays to show? Decimal points too?
What do you want to measure? How many pins does the PIC input need?
