Newbie question about starting new cogs

billiam2536

I have several objects that need to be operated all at the same time. How do I simply load the other objects, from within the top object, into new cogs and let them do there thing?

You can read about Methods and Cogs on page 67 of the PE labs book:

Information about using Objects follows the aforementioned section.

Also, you can read about the Cognew command in the Propeller Manual

Also, you can take a look at Example 3 on this:

Hi,
·· The following code snippet gets all 8 cogs running methods in the·current object

PUB Main 
 ' Load all other 7 processors on-chip first 
 cognew(Process(1, COG1_INIT, COG1_STATE, 0), @regStack1) 
 cognew(Process(2, COG2_INIT, COG2_STATE, 0), @regStack2) 
 cognew(Process(3, COG3_INIT, COG3_STATE, 1), @regStack3) 
 cognew(Process(4, COG4_INIT, COG4_STATE, 1), @regStack4) 
 cognew(Process(5, COG5_INIT, COG5_STATE, 0), @regStack5) 
 cognew(Process(6, COG6_INIT, COG6_STATE, 0), @regStack6) 
 cognew(ProcessEdgeCog(7, COG7_INIT, COG7_STATE, COG7_IN,COG7_OUT, 0), @regStack7) 
 ' load current processor 0 last 
 ProcessEdgeCog(0, COG0_INIT, COG0_STATE, COG0_IN,COG0_OUT,0)
