setting up adc ports but using some as digital pins

[wirelessage]

Hi all:

I had a question regarding setup_adc_ports() functionality for PIC 18F2685.

I need to ONLY have AN0 to AN4, AN10 as analog inputs. However, I see from the header file and from the PIC datasheet (18f2685) that I can only use a few combinations (AN0 to AN3; AN0 to AN4; AN0 to AN10 etc).

So, seems like the only option I have is to:
a) Configure all pins (AN0 to AN10) as analog input.
b) Re-configure AN8, AN9 as digital pins and use them and/or re-configure the pins back to analog once the firmware is done using them as digital pins.

Does anyone know of any issues doing this?
