LCD Everbouquet help?

[Levett Prins]

I am new at LCD's and want to use a one line EVERBOUQUET LCD (MC1601C series). I do not have many output pins left to drive the LCD!

Can someone help me with wiring setup and example code?

Well, the thread for people who don't have the compiler,
but come here asking how to use an LCD is here:

Thanx. I used the PCM driver and got the LCD going easy, BUT I still have a problem with the number pins required. Whould using another PIC that solely drives the LCD with RS232 comms to the main PIC be the best solution?

Regards

Levett

Here is a method that uses a shift register to reduce the
number of PIC i/o pins.
<a href="http://www.rentron.com/Myke1.htm" TARGET="_blank">http://www.rentron.com/Myke1.htm</a>
He's not using a shift-register IC. Instead, he just used
a LS174, which has 6 flip-flops in it, and then he wired it
as shift-register. He also uses a diode and a resistor.
So these are a lot of external parts. Maybe it's better
to use a LCD with an RS-232 interface. Here is a company
that sells those LCDs. <a href="http://www.seetron.com/slcds.htm" TARGET="_blank">http://www.seetron.com/slcds.htm</a>

Here is some sample code to use with a serial LCD.
I don't know if this code has been tested with the LCDs
available from the link above.
