Hey Thanks guys!
Mr Bigh- the display is easily readable at 3'. Reason I chose the oversized character version. It could work in parallel with RTD Explorer only if RTD is used to receive data from the Cougar. Both RTD and the LCD can't transmit unless you incorporate some kind of A/B distribution switch. More than 2 profiles gets complicated and now you need an indicator showing which one you're running with.
Wakinyantanka- As long as the status message sent from the high amp version is formatted the same it should be compatible. If the configuration parameters are different, it shouldn't matter since the user programs in the serial data he wants transmitted as his "profile".
DCB- Yes, every pin is used up. You could drop in a PIC18F2420 which is the same part without the CANbus. The two I/O lines for CAN then become standard I/O.
