Jay -
Page 214 in the Basic Stamp II Manual shows a memory map with all the data
area and pin names. INA, INB, INC, IND represent each quad, so P12-P15 =
IND as shown in the third column "Nibble Names".
This is a Page with a great deal of importance, and aids in the
understanding of how the internals of the BS-II are constructed.

Where is the best place to get some info on the "bitwise anding", I've heard
of it but after seeing your discussion it looks as if it may save me a lot
of code reading 4 inputs.
thanks in advance,

Read Bruce's response... using ins.nibd is much easier, takes less code
space and i would think is faster. There is not a lot on bitwise operatiors
in the stamp manual but here is a brief description...
Bitwise And If both bits are "1" then the result is a 1
1 & 1 = 1
1 & 0 = 0
0 & 0 = 0
0 & 1 = 0
Bitwise OR If either bit is a "1" then the output will be true
0 | 1 = 1
1 | 1 = 1
0 | 0 = 0
Exclusive Or (Xor) If either bit is a "1" then the result is "1". If
both bits are 1 then the result is "0"
1 ^ 0 = 1
1 ^ 1 = 0
0 ^ 0 = 0
0 ^ 1 = 1
So a binary expression of
variable= 10011001 | 01100110 (result is 11111111)
Hope that helps.

Page 214 in the Basic Stamp II Manual shows a memory map with all the data
area and pin names. INA, INB, INC, IND represent each quad, so P12-P15 =
IND as shown in the third column "Nibble Names".
This is a Page with a great deal of importance, and aids in the
understanding of how the internals of the BS-II are constructed.
Hope that is what you were seeking.

varname=ins & %1111000000000000
That will read the state of the Pins and the bitwise AND will drop all the
other pins that are unused. Hope that helps.
