Ive concidered using an encoder but doesnt that mean I'll need more than one pin for the input? Right now my pin count is prety much maxed out
As far as using an 3914/5/6 display, they are only for 10segment LED's.
Furthermore, This 12segment display is over used in the dash, its just everywhere... one of the other applications Im working on is the fuel consumption displays which takes the Fuel level and an odometer pulse and computes MPG and distance left... which obviously would require more than a display driver. Plus with the PIC you get the bonus of little sound effects.
So while Im not opposed to an encoder I have no idea how they work... have always assumed they output a 4bit BCD number... As it stands now the only pin I have left for input is portA.5
