How can I speed this code up? SHIFTOUT is slowing it down and I need a faster way.

Use a 16 bit counter in assembly to count to 0FFF.
In that loop, use the instruction -

btg LATA.3

You can't get much quicker than that.

I haven't counted exactly, but it looks to be under 14 cycles. At 40Mhz, that is
1.4uSEC = 714 Khz.

so do I just replace this:

	FOR C3 = 0 TO 4095
    		PORTA = %00001000
    		PORTA = %00000000
	NEXT

with this:

FOR C3 = 0 TO 4095
     btg LATA.3
NEXT

I do not know assembly at all thats why I went with PBP and keep in mind I am using a 16MHz Clock but I will be switching it up to a 20MHz
