multipul outputs

MR SPARKY

I have written many programs and every one i had send a high or low signal to multipul pins. my question is simple, can I tell two different pins to go low or high in one line. For example: I want pins 1,5,9, and 13 to go low. The way i have been doing it is with 4 lines of code. is there any way to consolidate it. I have attached an example of the way I am doing it now. If someone could tell if this is consolidatable. If so where can I find the information on how to do it. I have been looking for a while and have no clue what im looking for or where to find it.

check out the output registers and direction registers.. look in stamp manual under "outs" and "dirs"

MR SPARKY

I see the bits. out then the number of the bit. but I am not sure how to seperate them in the line. I did not see anything in that secctio to show seperation. I not really understanding it to well. can some one please shed some light on the situation.

Sparky -

You don't separate them, you use them in groups of 4, 8 or 16 pins as required. It's merely a matter of logically assigning consecutive physical pin ports when you do your wiring. Once you've done it, you'll never turn back.

outs =% 1101110111011101 would make pins 1,5, 9 and 13 low all others would be high
outl =%11011001 would make pins 1,2,and 5 low all others high
outh does the same, but addresses pins 8 through 15
if you wanted to address 4 consecutive pins you would use :
outa for pins 0 through 3
outb for pins 4,5,6,7
outc = 8,9,10,11
outd = 12,13,14,15

kb1nrb that was what I had figured but i cant get it to work. i am not sure if I am writng the code incorrectly or not. I tryed it but the leds did not light.

Make sure you have the corresponding DIRS / DIRL / DIRH / DIRA / DIRB / DIRC / DIRD bits set to all one bits to make the I/O pins outputs.

In any event, we can't help you figure out what's wrong without a posted copy of your source program. If it's short, use the [noparse][[/noparse] code ] [noparse][[/noparse] /code ] brackets to include it in your message (without the extra spaces). If it's long, attach it to your message using the Attachment Manager.

MR SPARKY

I figured it out. I did not put the dir bit set in. thanks for all the help. this will save some trees.
