Question about varables

average joe

What's wrong with this code and how do I make it work? Also is it possible to refrence ins, outs or dirs with alias / modifiers? I am a hobby designer and Pbasic is my first programming language. Any help would be much appreciated!

Logic VAR Byte
Logic_A VAR logic.BIT0...BIT2
Logic_B VAR logic.BIT3...BIT4
Mute_A VAR logic.BIT5
Mute_B VAR logic.BIT6

Did you specify the language? Click on the little button that says 2.5 and it should insert some code for you.

I think you're ok with the individual bits, but I don't believe you can make aliases to groups of bits like 0..2 or 3..4.

There already are names for portions of INS, DIRS, and OUTS. In particular, there are names for the two bytes of the 16 bit values and for the four nibbles as well as the individual bits. You can assign aliases to these names. See page 83 of the Stamp Syntax and Reference Manual.

I've read the manual a couple times and it it says you can reference groups of bits with modifiers. But it says nothing about modifying predefined names. Attached is code that has tested ok, but I was hoping to streamline it a bit. I havn't had a chance to finish the schematic or comment code but will hopefully have this done in a shortly.

So no one has any information on how to use variables better? I keep reading the syntax reference and can't see anything explaining this better
