Hi,
I was using a 7-segment display driver/multiplexer IC, the MC14489, with the basic stamp. Now that I have switched to using a PIC18F4550, I'm wondering if I can do without that chip and have the PIC run this also. I'm using a 3x4 keypad to enter data, along with some serial data from shift registers. I think there there is enough I/O to also do the 4 digit, 7 segment control. So my basic question is, would this be a better way to do this, or would I be better off staying with something that worked well with the Stamp.
Thanks,
Klaus
