IOUT gets changed with a pushbutton input, either increased or decreased. I need to display that value on an LCD and also send that value out to a digital pot.
I need to make sure that IOUT is only changed with the pressing of the pushbuttons, and I also need to make sure POT.lowbyte is always the same as IOUT.

POT is 16bit and I wanted to know if I could load the 8 bit IOUT into POT.lowbyte.
