I curious about 28X1, read manual info say 17 outputs but I counted all are 16 outputs, not surely maybe me wrong, where is 17 outputs? 16 outputs can make code for out all which leg pin are 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, and 28 mean total 16 outputs not 17 outputs right?

The serial programming output pin can also be used for output of sertxd type serial messages.

serout pin A.4?

Edit: too slow reading the manual! Sounds a bit like marketing hype to claim serout is an output ;) - Appendix E of Manual 1 says there is a maximum of (only) 16 outputs

I guess the manual is not exaggerating too much, as poking the TRIS and PORT registers you yought to get a couple of outputs more ;)

Pins can only be inputs or outputs, and the sertxd pin is definitely always an output.
On the 28X1 it is a specialised output, for sertxd serial transmissions only.
On the 28X2 it can also be used as a general purpose output aswell as sertxd if desired.
