2p and PWMPAL

Hi All,

I am going to be using a PWMPAL with a 2p40. Do the PWM outputs have to
actually be connected to the p40? Meaning, can I bend them so that they do
not insert into the PWMPAL, then use them for other things? I could just
solder a wire onto the pin and lead it elsewhere.

Also, I haven't been able to find documentation that tells me how to address
the X pins on the p40. Where might I find this info?

Thanks,

Jonathan

    Hi Johnathan,

    To address the x pins on the p40, use the commands
    auxio
    or
    ioterm 1
    Subsequent commands then act on sixteen x pins instead of the sixteen p pins.

    high 7 ' makes x7 high

    to switch back, use
    mainio
    or
    ioterm 0

    high 7 ' makes p7 high

    It takes some getting used to, and you will find a lot of future bugs
    will trace back to having the wrong set selected!!

    I think that the only pins that need to be connected to the stamp are
    the power supplies and the communications pin (p1). So you can put
    the pwmpal side by side with the Stamp, or (ouch!) bend the pins.
