New to PICBASIC Pro and have simple question

[plyrathrt]

That's what I thought the best option would be but wanted to make sure.

Yeah I alway's use it by bit and create variables because sometimes Mouser runs out of chips I need and I have to get a near compatible one.

I also only use the PAUSEUS so that the pic doesn't go to sleep.

Thank you for your help. I will try and do it this way and maybe, just maybe, it will function as desired.

keep in mind that if your're working with more than one input, one that is an "enable", for example, that you can use a logical operator to make some magic...


if portb.0 <> buttonState AND portd.3 = 1 THEN... etc.

In one case I needed to validate what was going on with a variable that came from the HSERIN and had to use some intense logic...

If (BtVar = 48 AND porte = 0) OR (BtVar = 49 AND porte = 1) OR (BtVar = 50 AND porte = 2) ... THEN...

This let me match the port e value to the character that came in on the serial port. Since Port e on an 16F877A is 3 bits, I needed to compare for all 8 values using this if-then. It's incredible what tis complier and the chips, for that matter can do!

good luck.
