I didn't want to write back to this post until I had a more detailed way of explaining what I had to do, but basically I don't! It looks like I'll need one pin for each output of the LCD display, which is going to be a bit of an issue as that means i'll have very few ports left for buttons, SPI comm...

I wish it was that simple!!!
Take a look at the datasheet for the ADC and you'll see straight away what problems Im facing, Im just a novice and this stuff is slightly above me!

Just wanna say thanks a lot for the reply, tis well appreciated!

Interfacing the Pic16F877A with the MCP3201 12-Bit ADC.

Hi I intend on Interfacing the Pic16F877A with the MCP3201 12-Bit ADC using SPI. I was just wondering if anyone has done this in the past and have any routines for this. I know a bit of C programming, but I've never actually tried any sort of interface communication. Ive most of the rest of the prog...

Using a customised LCD display in Flowcode.

Im currently doing a project that will use a customised LCD display to display the temperature reading using a thermocouple. Is there anyway of controlling a non serial LCD display in Flowcode. The project specifys that the display needs to be a large customised one that has each segment controlled ...

Doing calculations involving 'big' numbers on an 8-bit Pic

Hi all Im currently doing a project involving converting a thermocouple voltage into temperature. Im doing it in source boost, using a pic16f84a and have hit a problem. The calculations involved are limiting greatly what I can do with it. for instance: t = (1237035 + (28015*x))/1000000; Now this obv...
