Let us know how you are getting along on this project. Have you blinked a LED on port A yet?
I think I'm going to try to use the channel selector approach. Using RE1 thru RE4 as the inputs. I read in the manual that there is a command that will sample the designated pins and store the result in a register of my chosing. The problem I am having trouble sorting out in my head is what should I do when the count goes back to 0000 after 1111 and vice versa. And still have the count continue up or down. Is there some way to like have a loop restart when this limit is reached?
Just messing with it as time allows. So not much progress. Still learnig the PBP commands and uses. And yes, got LED's blinking like crazy using machine code, but haven't tried it wih PBP yet.
Thanks for the helps Guys!
