LSB of Word Variable - how do you move into byte variable?

Mr Diesel Dude

In the PWM command, the duty_cycle parameter must be a byte. I am feeding this from a word variable; in essence, I am trying to force a word variable into the space of a byte variable. It does not work. I think I need to truncate the word variable·to the LSB, and then move it into the byte variable...? Is this correct? If so, can anybody tell me how to do it?

Just use varname_LSB in the PWM command.

Thanks Bean, that was the trick. By the by, I cannot find this "trick" in any reference material that I have. Is there a reference manual that you can recommend?

Thanks
