Hi, I've been looking at that PIC, the '913, and was wondering what is the idea with it. I mean it is supposed to handle 60 pixels, but when you set it up for that number of pixels, you don't have any useful pins available, just MCLR, OSCIN and OSCOUT (have in mind that not all have input AND output capabilities).... The TX/RX pins for either USART, I2C or SPI are used by the LCD, the analog pins are used by the LCD.... Am I missing something there? Is there a way to mux that? Should I make a softuart and use the oscilator pins to communicate the '913 to another PIC?
