Using the pin "number" was the first thing I tried because I saw them do it in the PBP manual. But when I implemented it I couldn't make any sense of how the "numbers corresponded to the actual ABCDE Ports. And for some 2 different "numbers" I can't remember which ones, would correspond to data coming out on the same pin.

Why is PORTB.O = "number" 0 ? Where is PORTA?


This is what is in my .bas file:
