Wilba Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 PIC18F4685 using 4-bit mode, Core32 using 8-bit mode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultra Posted April 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 it's on a ucore so pinout is the same.it's a 18f452. not really sure how to switch modes, but stryd said to use a 452 because it supports 8 bit. i routed all the lcd traces for the ucore.
