DIRS

Syntax

DIRS

Description

DIRS reads or writes the 16 bits controlling the directions of the 16 IO pins.  A 1 in one of the 16 bit positions corresponds to that IO pin being driven as an output.

The ARMmite allows control of 24 pins (0..23), with pins 16..23 shared with the AD pins.

Example

'set direction of pins 0 to 7 output, 8 to 15 input

DIRS = $00FF
