I'm looking at using an '871 to interface with a Scott Edwards serial LCD= , and wonder (after looking at some of the code), can you write to just a certa= in part of the LCD line by simply pointing to the beginning address for the location in display memory? ie, I want the display to show Time Left xx:xx and only update the xx:xx values ____________________________________________________________________ Get free email and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=3D= 1 -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
