I don't know where to find such a design ready to use, but anyway I'd like to suggest a small improvement: Use 74HC4094 instead of 74HC164. This chip features an "STR" input, which allows transfer of data from internal shift register to output pins. In this way you'll avoid the annoying flashing of dark segments during the data transmission. When interfacing the few-pin PIC's with external world, I usually use the 74HC4094 for output and 74HC(T)165 for input -- Wojciech Zabolotny wzab@ise.pw.edu.pl http://www.freedos.org Free DOS for free people!
