Yes, that's exactly what I'm doing. Now I'm trying to use the IR recievers from a few years ago to use the four seven-segment displays to show the information sent by remote controls (the kind you use with your TV). Anyway, the code is being written now. I'm not really too sure I know what the best way to go about it is though, or what protocol to code for. The main apprehension I'm having is that I know the internal oscillator is only accurate to about 15-20% of the calculated frequency, and I'm trying to figure out a good way to base the calculations I'm doing based on probability, rather than accuracy.
Anyway, I'll post some code later when I have the chance, but here's a video of the hardware doing it's thing with some very simple scrolling text:
Thanks Mike!
