Output_high() function

[Thomas]

Hi everyone,

I have a variable which contain the address of a port, but I want to use this variable for the Output_high() function. The Output_High() function, as you know, requires a constant in its argument. How do I "convert" the content of a variable to a constant so I can use in the Output_High() function.

test = BIT_A3;
Output_High(test); //?

Thank you in advance

If you use FIXED_IO or any other way to be sure that the port pin is in output state then you can use the following:

void My_Output_High(char bitaddress)
{
char byteaddr,bitaddr;

byteaddr = bitaddress >> 3;
bitaddr = bitaddress & 0x07;
bit_set(*byteaddr,bitaddr);
}

If you use 16F87X then it is possible to use:

void My_Output_High(char bitaddress)
{
char byteaddr,bitaddr;

byteaddr = bitaddress >> 3;
bitaddr = bitaddress & 0x07;
bit_clear(*(byteaddr | 0x80),bitaddr); // set pin to output
bit_set(*byteaddr,bitaddr);
}

And of course you can use the same way for 18Fxx2 to compute the right TRIS register address.

Assuming you mean that your variable contains the address of a BIT on a port, why not use bit_set(addr,bit)?

For example:

#byte PORTA = 5
int test;

test = 3; // Bit 3 position
bit_set(PORTA,test); // as in the CCS manual!

Of course, you'll have to have set up the TRIS register(s) on your own to use this method.
