Shiftout - shiftin question

Looks really close to the Basic Stamp code but one big difference when switching to PBP is many of the chips have analog built in.

Just about every pin on the 690 has analog. So read through this
http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=561
and the data sheet.

For the 690 to turn off the analog you will need to add this near the beginning.

CM1CON0 = 0  'Should turn off the Comparators
CM2CON0 = 0
ANSEL = 0       'Turns ADC off

You may want to start off with a simple "blinky" program just to make sure the 690 is running correctly.

Thank you!
It was really good information. I missed this analog thing. Now the PIC seems to work more logic, or moore like a stamp. But it still dont work with this compass-module. I think that I will start to test the same things I allready have done before I typed this new strip, and maybee et will work. If you don´t have any moore good information I maybee have missed?
I get back here and tell how it was going.

What version of PBP are you using?

And you may want to look at the source code compared to your code. There was a couple things I think missing but have not had a chance to really pick it over.

But first, is the PIC® running? Can you make an LED blink at an expected rate. Maybe it is not running at the correct speed?

Hello again.
Thanks for your engagement!
It is still dont working.

I think that I have the latest and best PBP-version. I baught it last week.
The code is allmost a copy from the sourse-code (made for Basic stamp where it works). And I checked the speed. It seems to me as it is correct. I light a led up and paused for 10 000. Checked, and it was 10 sek.
I think I tryed everything. Now I am really drained of ideas.
You are more than welcome to came up with new ideas.
Friendly regards / Lasse

Looking at your code again

SHIFTIN DinDout,clk,MSBPOST,[Status\4] ' Get Status

LOOP UNTIL s = Ready ' Exit loop when status is ready

I do not see a "Status" array variable defined but I do see a "s" variable.

Thanks again.
I think that I tried it before. Type "SHIFTIN DinDout,clk,MSBPOST,[S\4]" instead of "status". But now I tried again. It dont work. Do you think that it is some different depending of witch pins I use? Do I need to try different pins every change I try?
