    Default Best way to find a rising edge?

    Hi,

    My first post here! Seems like a great forum; glad to be a member. I need to know when an input pin sees a 0-5V transition (must do with several pins; don't want to use interrupts).

    In C I'd do it this way:
    byte old, nowHigh;
    old = pin_in; // set old as the old value of the pin
    pause 10
    nowHigh = pin_in & !old; // set nowHigh if it is now high but used to be low

    My newbie questions:
    1) In PBP is it smarter to use BIT variables to do this?
    2) How do I get the NOT operator (! in C) in PBP? Or do I have to do something like
    nowHigh = (pin_in==1) AND (old==0) ?

    And what kind of variable is nowHigh = (pin_in==1) AND (old==0) anyway? Is it a BIT since pin_in is a bit, or if nowHigh is a BYTE is it automatically typecast to a BYTE?

    Thanks for shedding any light on this!

    - Jim

    I did it like this

    RESETALL VAR PORTA.0
    RSTPLS VAR BIT
    HULP0 VAR BIT


    RSTPLS = RESETALL & ~ HULP0
    HULP0 = RESETALL

    (& = logical and ~ = invert)

    ' At RSTPLS you will get a pulse what is one cycle of your program if RESETALL goes high.

    Ofcource
    while
    RESETALL = 1
    wend

    will also work

    I am not sure exactly what you are trying to do ???

    ; If you are only looking for 0V-5V (and not 5V-0V) then try this
    ; example of monitoring RB0, RB2, and RB4 for change
    old var byte
    main:
    pause 10
    old = PORTB & %00010101
    if old = 0 then main
    ; do something here because a pin went high
    ; to find which pin went high
    if old.0 = 1 then here4RB0
    if old.2 = 1 then here4RB2
    if old.4 = 1 then here4RB4

    here4RB0:
    do something
    goto main
    here4RB2
    do something
    goto main
    here4RB4
    do something
    goto main

    Another approach - You also could just poll the port directly,
    main:
    If PORTB.0 = 1 then here4RB0
    If PORTB.2 = 1 then here4RB2
    If PORTB.4 = 1 then here4RB4
    pause 10
    goto main
    etc

    newHigh = PORTB & %00010101
    if old = newHigh then main ; no change on RB0, RB2, RB4
    ; do something here because a pin changed
    old = old ^ newHigh ; find changed pin(s) (bit or bits will be set for changed pin(s))
    if old.0 = 1 then here4RB0
    if old.2 = 1 then here4RB2
    if old.4 = 1 then here4RB4

    here4RB0:
    if newHigh.0 = 1 then
    do something ; pin when from low to high
    else
    do something else ; pin went from high to low
    endif
    goto main
    here4RB2
    do something
    goto main
    here4RB4
    do something
    goto main

    Wow, thanks Paul and Mat; that was fast! Exactly what I needed...I couldn't find the ~ negator in the manual, and I wasn't sure if logical true and false could be automatically typecast to a byte variable. From your code, now I know, and I have a bunch of things to try to see which minimizes the generated code.

    Thanks,
