Yup, PIC at 3v.

I didn't use any resistors, the chipset (PCD8544) specifies a max input
current of 10ma, so you probably do want some. But IANAEE (I Am Not An
Electrical Engineer ;). The only other components I used was some decoupling
on the supply and the capacitor from Vout to Gnd (Which is required).
