lesson 2

what happens here and why ? does changing the lata initial value make a difference?

loopy:
lata=3   ;init porta
led2 = !porta.1


led1 = porta.1


pause 3000
 
goto loopy

excuse me starting from lesson 2.



First of all as from the configuration, all PORTA is digital with bit 7-2 as input and bit 1-0 to output.

now you have given a number to lata = 3. Even if you change this number nothing happen so far.

LED 2 is opossite state from porta.1

and LED 1 the same state as porta.1

We havent configured any port to high or low. By default the ports are set to low?

Could you also explain what is the logic behind the LATA.
