Please forgive this absolute dumb newbie question. I have a correspondent who is trying to control a 20-by-5 LED display with a 16F84 PIC. She can make 8 lights flash by writing to PORTB (she's sent me her C code, which is quite similar to what's at http://www-ee.eng.hawaii.edu/~sasaki/EE361/Fall01/quickovp.pdf ), but how can she write to the rest of the display? I feel I should be asking her some question about the hardware connection, but I don't know enough in this area even to formulate the question. Thanks for any help, Mark Israel MarkIsrael@aol.com -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
