LCD + buttons module

I'm pretty sure the LCD would work fine since it uses an actual HD44780 controller. My question is, could I convince the MIDIBox core (PIC18F452) to use the four switch contacts as a DINX1? In other words, could I hook S1-4 up to J9 and expect good results? Anybody have any experience with this particular LCD module?

Thanks,

Michael

No need to use tracking sites like tinyurl here, the bbcode syntax allows you to hide the long URL if you want to:

No, that won't work, they're just switches. Depending on how they're wired (it's not clear in the listing, only one connection is given per switch, so maybe they just output 5V when held in?) you may be able to connect those switches to a DIN, or to J5.
