Write output pins as byte

Revave

Hello,

I am new with the basic stamp. I have a question about writing outputs.
I would like to copy a variable with datatype byte to output pins 8 -15. (BS2pe)

For example:

Value VAR Byte

If Value is dec 3, pin 8 and 9 should be high.
If Value is dec 10, pin 9 and 11 should be high.
This up to 255 (8 output pins needed)

Is there a simple command available to copy the VAR to OUTH (pin 8 to 15)?
I've tried the next command, but it doesn't work.
OUTH = Value

Best regards,
Reijnko

Hi Revave, you can see a program similar to this technique here.

Try this example:
value = %11000110

Thank you!

I've found a solution:

Value=128
DIRS=%1111111100000000
OUTH Value

Revave, glad that worked for you. Decimal values work good. For ease of programming, use of binary can develop a 1 to 1 correspondence between the value bits and the pins, visually. What project are you working on?

INL and INH are also very useful commands to familiarize yourself with. Ain't no quicker way to read 8 input pins!

Remember, INL and INH are just the byte names.
The word name is INS.
The nibble names are INA, INB, INC, IND
and the bit names are IN0 - IN7 and IN8 - IN15.

To expand Humanoido point, you can address bits in a byte like this.

value VAR Byte
value.BIT1 = 0

Remember, this way can only be done BS2 and above
