Shot meself in the foot again...

Number or PORT real name or Alias to pin it has to work

Have a look to section 4.11, or in MCS Help topics>>PICBASIC PRO Basics>>> Pins

To me, real port name (PORTB.3) or aliases (DO) is more valuable than pin #.

But... it's me

    SS                   var PORTB.1 ' ISD4002 SS pin
    SCLK                 var PORTB.2 ' ISD4002 SCLK pin
    MOSI                 var PORTB.3 ' ISD4002 MOSI pin
    MISO                 var PORTB.4 ' ISD4002 MISO pin
    '
    '
    '
    '
    ss = 0
    shiftout MOSI,SCLK,LSBFIRST,[ISDword\16]
    ss = 1
    '
    '
    '
    '
    ss=0
    shiftin miso,sclk,lsbpre,[isdpointer\16]
    ss=1

Peter,

How is the beasty supposed to know that 2 means portc.2....The thing is I gotta use 0 - 7 as the clockpin

Not sure if you really mean "I gotta use 0 - 7".

Usually PORTC.2 is number 10, but that depends on the chip you are using.
If you really need it to be 0-7, see this thread for how to change it.

HTH,

Right, I'll have a look at that in a jiffy.
Meantime, I "delooped" the thing and addressed each CLOCKPIN as exactly what it was, eg PORTC.0 up to PORTC.7 and now works perfect. Still don't think that was what I did on the previous thing but....


I'll go have a look at that link now and play around some more...

[muddy0409]

Yep, that done it.
Has anyone ever done a edited version of the PBP manual with all this stuff included? Or asked MELABS to add to the original manual?????????

Hope they are reading this!!!

Thanks shiploads blokes, you are life savers as always. I've locked the ammo away again, but kept the rifle out to belt meself about the head.

Hi all.
As a follow-up to my previous, Would it be feasable to start a thread or even a full forum containing all those undocumented little gems that some people discovered. I think it would be a real good help to some people, 'specially twits like me?

[muddy0409]
