BS2P40 and the PIN type

Archiver

How does one use a PIN type definition on the BS2P40's AUXIO pins?
This snippet:

MAINIO
Fred PIN 2
AUXIO
Wilma PIN 2
.
.
.
LOW Wilma
.
.
...

doesn't seem to work. Can AUX pins be addressed this way?

Thanx,

PIN works fine with the BS2p40. What's important to remember that the
PIN definition is for the compiler and how it generates code underneath.


I just ran this code on my NX-1000-24/40 board with a BS2p40 installed
and it worked as expected:

Fred PIN 0
Wilma PIN 0

Main:
MAINIO
HIGH Fred
AUXIO
HIGH Wilma
PAUSE 500
MAINIO
LOW Fred
AUXIO
LOW Wilma
PAUSE 500
GOTO Main

'AUXIO' (and MAINIO) is a compiler switch. You've
tried to use it here to identify 'WILMA' as an
AUXIO pin. That is not how it works.

When you issue AUXIO, EVERY pin reference after that
(i.e. further along in the source file) refers to the
AUXIO I/O pins (until your next 'MAINIO',that is).
When you issue 'MAINIO', every reference after that
(until the next AUXIO) refers to the MAIN I/O pins.
