A less Cumbersome way of manipulating several LEDS?

Hi Mark, Apologies...I missed your earlier contribution...that looks like something along the lines of what I need...I'll give it a try over the weekend - many thanks!

You probably realize this... but you will need a pause, of some time delay, after each "GOSUB LED_OUT", in Mark's example. In order for your eye to see the LED's ON or OFF or they may just appear to be flickering at half brighteness.

Also the "X's" in the example will not compile... need to use "0's". At least they don't compile using microcodestudio.

LED VAR WORD
 
Main:
LED = %0000000111111111 'ALL LEDS ON 
GOSUB LED_OUT
PAUSE 500 'or delay of your choosing
LED = %0000000000000000 'ALL LEDS OFF
GOSUB LED_OUT
PAUSE 1000 'or delay of your choosing
 
Goto Main
 
LED_OUT:
PORTC.6 = LED.0
PORTB.6 = LED.1
PORTB.5 = LED.2
PORTB.4 = LED.3
PORTC.2 = LED.4
PORTC.1 = LED.5
PORTC.0 = LED.6
PORTA.2 = LED.7
PORTA.1 = LED.8
RETURN

good luck!!

Heckler, you are right on all accounts.

In the digital world "X" means "don't care". A 1 or 0 will not cause a state change.
Sorry for the confusion. In PBP you can drop the leading zeros in a binary variable.
This %000000111111111 would equal %111111111.

Best regards
