I'm using an AT89C2051 in my project of a tire pressure measuring system, as I've already mentioned in a thread in the programmer's corner. At the receiver side, I am getting a serial input from the RF receiver and sending it to pin P3.0 (rxd pin) of the 2051. I'm using P1 as the port to display the data on an LCD. But this means I still have 3 connections of the LCD (RS, WR, EN) that I have to run as well as an LED and a buzzer. As P1 has 7 pins, and only one is the input, can I use the other 6 as output pins to run the above functions?
Can this be achieved, say by initializing port P3 as P3 = 0x01?
