Hi all! I thought I'd send a belated Happy Birthday message to my Dad, and try to get some practice programming PICs at the same time. The result? I programmed my 16F88 to display scrolling text on a 3 digit, 7-segment display. Here's what the finally product looks like (warning: I hope my humming doesn't creep you out!):

Comments or questions either here or on Youtube are most welcome! Also, I'm up for a challenge if anyone has any ideas on what other text/graphics I might display. I'll try my hand at the best ideas, and post a video of those results, too.
Just one request: No text including the letters K, M, W, or X. Seriously! How am I suppose to do those on just a 7-segment?!
