how to assign a pin?

Rabbit
1

hi, this may sound like a dumm question but im new at this. :o
How can i assign a pin from the rabbit 3000 to use it as a variable in dynamic c.
Because i heard u can only assign 8 bit as a variable, using 8 pins.

Im working on a proyect with robots and i need to connect a display and a numeric keyboard to my rabbit 3000 to send instruccions to the robot and i want to use separated pins not the hole port.

Thx in advance.

There are Bit write functions, which write a single bit…

BitWrPortI(PEDDR, &PEDDRShadow, 0x00, 0);

You need to use the shadow ports which are also defined for each port.

From the help file:
[b]BitWrPortI

SYNTAX: void BitWrPortI(int io_port, char *PORTShadow, int value, int bitcode);

KEYWORDS: parallel port

PARAMETER1: address of internal I/O port.

PARAMETER2: address of variable shadowing current value of port.

PARAMETER3: value to write to port.

PARAMETER4: bit (0-7) to write value to.

DESCRIPTION: Updates shadow register at bit with value (0 or 1) and
copies shadow to I/O port. WARNING: a shadow register is REQUIRED
for this function.
All of the Rabbit internal registers have predefined macros
corresponding to the register’s name. PADR is #defined to be
0x30, etc.

RETURN VALUE: None[/b]

mmm im sorry, i cant make it work yet, i wanna see if u have an example code in dinamic c controlling 1 pin.

Ty in advance

This is an example where you change the state of PIN 4 of PORT F (You do this modifying the PORT F Data Register - PFDR).

BitWrPortI(PFDR,&PFFRShadow,1,4);

Now Pin 4 is High. To go low:

BitWrPortI(PFDR,&PFFRShadow,0,4);

Remember that previosuly you have to set the PFDDR,PFFR,PFCR,PFDCR (F: port F).
