Oscillator/Clockout

[sougata]

Hi,

Yes it is possible with PBP to throw out data bits the way dave said but I have never used it. For a motor control app a glitch may cause problems and I personally never take chances. If I get some time I would like to disassemble a shiftout code and get the total picture on the clock idleing issues.Hope dave can give some deeper insight.

Regards

Sougata

Dave, like you this is where I was going with this since the Shifout command is setup for this purpose. Thanks for a code example.

Sougata, I'm sorry I didn't follow you with the for next loop being used as a way of bit dumping, maybe I just don't see how the loop combines counting to data pin output. It probably can be done with more code but the Shift out command is ready to use.

Thanks to both for your ideas. J.S.

fowardbias, There is not a problem as the data is not updated untill you issue the strobe at the end of the shiftout. Just don't send 1 byte then go and have some breakfast then send the rest of the message. I haven't seen more than a fraction of a millisecond delay between the variables being shifted out using this method.
