BS1 Code Help
Hello,
Can somebody more knowledgeable help me in understanding what's
happening with the code between two For... Next loops in the article
that I've attached?
The first few lines of code are for resetting the smartcard and start
reading the data contained in its EEPROM, after placing reset pin of the
smartcard as low. Within the loop, high 6 and low 6 are the clock pulses
that allow reading more of the data. My problem in understanding is with
the code between Next... For loops, specially the codes for b1 and b2?
I'll appreciate any help in understanding the code.
Best regards,
Tayeb Habib

for b0 = 0 to 31
b2 = 0
for b1 = 0 to 7
b2 = b2 * 2
b2 = b2 + PIN4
high 6
low 6
next b1
write b0,b2
next b0
The gist is that the code reads 32 bytes of data from the
smartcard and writes it to the stamps EEPROM.
Heres a commented version that should help:
for b0 = 0 to 31 'loop through the 32 bytes of internal stamp
EEPROM
b2 = 0 'clear b2
for b1 = 0 to 7 'loop for 8 bits of data
b2 = b2 * 2 'shift b2 left by 1 bit
b2 = b2 + PIN4 'add a bit of data from the smartcard to b2
high 6 'pull pin6 hi
low 6 'pull pin6 low
next b1 'next bit
write b0,b2 'write data in b2 to stamp EEPROM location b0
next b0 'next EEPROM location

What the code between the FOR...NEXT loops is doing is this....
The variable B0 holds the EEPROM location to which the data read from the
smart card will be written (0 to 31) using the WRITE statement. This is
advanced for each byte read from the card.
The variable B1 holds the bit position in the byte being read (0 to 7), this
is advanced by one for each bit read from the card.
The variable B2 holds the (emerging) byte read from the card at pin 4. What
the line B2=B2*2 is doing is in fact left-shifting the bit pattern
previously read (eg. %00000001 * 2 = %000000010, etc.). The next line
(B2=B2+pin4) is adding (bitwise ANDing) the bit read at pin 4 (so if pin 4
was high, and assuming that B2 is now %00000010, we get B2 being equal to
%00000011, etc.) The high 6 / low 6 are clock pulses as you know, and the
rest should all be clear....
Note that B2 is reset to %00000000 before each byte is "read" from the
smart-card (top of outer loop).
Hope that helps.
Lance.

Thank you for your help.
That means that we could read the contents of the BS1 EEPROM using:
read b0,b2
correct?

Dear Andrew:
Thank you for your help.
That means that we could read the contents of the BS1 EEPROM using:
read b0,b2
