"Simultaneous" I/O

Jim Bock

I have a TLC2543 11-channel A/D converter that I'd like to use with a BS2, but the TLC inputs instructions and outputs data on the same clock tick. Is there any way to get the BS2 to accommodate this using PBASIC?

Darn, Tracy, you're good.

Thanks, Tracy. Of course! They don't need to be simultaneous!! Duh

some time ago i wrote a routine that shifted in and out on the same clock at the same time. it was slow compared to shiftin and shiftout commands. its probably a better solution for the sx.

off the top of my head...

for idx = 0 to 7
out_pin = out_byte.bit0
out_byte = ou_bytet/2
in_byte = in_byte*2
in_byte.bit0 = in_pin
high clock
low clock
next

If I lived back in the wild west days, instead of carrying a six-gun in my holster, I'd carry a soldering iron. That way, if some smart-aleck cowboy said something like "Hey, look. He's carrying a soldering iron!" and started laughing, and everybody else started laughing, I could just say, "That's right, it's a soldering iron. The soldering iron of justice." Then everybody would get real quiet and ashamed, because they had made fun of the soldering iron of justice, and I could probably hit them up for a free drink. - Jack Handy
