Can You Help please,
I have a 28X and AXE033 LCD Module
I am using the 28X outputs 0-7 for my application.
I need to send serial data to the AXE033 without using
this output port.
Can I use a PortC Pin [eg portc 0][physical pin 11]
for the serout function.
If this is possible please supply correct syntax.
Any other Method welcome
Thanks for Help
All comments Welcome
Thanks A Lot

The simple answer is:
If you wish to use the standard PICAXE BASIC commands for serial out (SEROUT) these will only work with the designated output pins (0-7).

If you are prepared to write and use bit-banging methods, you could drive a portC pin as a serial output but would not be very elegant and likely very slow baud rate as well.

Would it not be possible to move some other device from a standard output to a portc pin?
