DIRH and DIRL help please

What

Hi.

I'm trying to send some word to and 2x16 LCD display (BONA MC1602-13 Rev.3) with my Basic Stamp 2.

Wiring is described as:

P8 <-> E \
P9 <-> RW \
P10 <-> RS \
P11 <-> DB4 --- ( 2x16 ) LCD DISPLAY
P12 <-> DB5 /
P13 <-> DB6 /
P14 <-> DB7 /

I'm using a code that i found in a stampworks (Attached). But i can't understand how should i define the DIRL or DIRH.
Sorry for my bad english and if u need any more info to try to help me just say it and i'll add it.

Thanks for all your time and help.

A "1" "0" makes the associated pin an output, a "0" "1" makes it an output.

DIRH is for P8-P15.· You're using P8-P14, DIRH = %01111111 makes those pins outputs.

Post Edit -- OK, I described it incorrectly, but I got the numbers right in my example.· Must wait till my second cup.

I think PJ meant to say a "0" makes it an INPUT.

Yep, that's a bust.

I didn't describe it right, but I managed to get the numbers right in the example.

I edited that, and thanks.

Something sounds fishy about that explanation... [noparse];)[/noparse]
