Share ports

[ruijc]

Greetings Skimask,

This means i can hook the lcd in the same pins as the leds.

Code speeking i can define the ports for the lcd at the top of the code and work with the leds anyway, right ?

And when i need the LCD i just change the port related with driving the ground to the leds ( turning off the leds ) and work with the LCD.

No more code is required except changing the state of this particular port, am i right ?

Pretty much. The LEDs might blink when accessing the LCD, and you'll have to make sure that your LCD's E line is an isolated line.
