Try something like an RS232 to LCD "terminal" that you can use on other projects to output debug strings or display valid data. This does two things in one project - consolidates your PIC to LCD knowledge, and gets your knowledge of the UART interface in the PIC a work out as well. Once you have that side of it running fit a 10 key keypad to it so you can send data the other direction. For another project you may like to try something like a burglar alarm controller for a house. This will allow you to try dealing with multiple sensors of the same type, or different types e.g. some times you want a normally open switch sensor, sometimes a normally closed switch sensor, sometimes a light beam, and think about how to handle things like broken wires to sensors in a sensible manner. You could use the LCD terminal above as a controller for it. -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways. See http://www.piclist.com/#archives for details.
