noobie to PICs and PBPro... Programming question.

[mcphill]

OK, I think I follow your points, but the suggestions are no along the lines I wanted to go. Let me restate the question this way...

I have 8 I/O pins that are NOT in succession.

I want to assign names to the pins. I want those names to be an array, so I can cycle through them in succession in a loop. By assigning the bits to the array name, I should be able to rearrange them logically to fit my physical setup.

Is that achievable in PBPro, and if so, what do I need to do so?

I attempted to do this by creating the array led[x]. I then defined each bit of led[x] to a specific I/O pin (porta.2 = led[1]) I have also tried this with led[1] var porta.2, and that did not work either. It does work if I do NOT use an array ( led1 var porta.2 ), but then I can't use the name led1 in a loop, cycling from led1 to led9...

Is that question more clear?

mcphill,

I understand your question and the link I provided is the key. In post 7 of that link I show how to, in a loop blink three port pins in succession - RB6, RC4, and RD2. The order and pin can easily be changed. Further, Ingvar, Bruce, Darrel, and others show other ways to do this. Study post 1 from that thread and make sure you understand what the OP requested. Then see post 7 and beyond for the answer. If you still need more explanation, I will have some time tonight to re-reply.

Good Luck
