Command Set (continued)

Write Port B Direction Register

ASCII Code

Bytes

Data

Function

!B 3

Direction

Writes data to ports direction register. Lines with a
corresponding bit value of 0 are set as outputs, lines with a bit
value of 1 are set as inputs

The power up default for Direction is 255 setting all lines as inputs

Operation:

Same as Write Port A Direction Register

Example:

Winsock1.

SendData “!B” + Chr$(

Direction

)

Write Port C Direction Register

ASCII Code

Bytes

Data

Function

!C 3

Direction

Writes data to ports direction register. Lines with a
corresponding bit value of 0 are set as outputs, lines with a bit
value of 1 are set as inputs

The power up default for Direction is 255 setting all lines as inputs

Operation:

Same as Write Port A Direction Register

Example:

Winsock1.

SendData “!C” + Chr$(

Direction

)

Write Port A Pull Up Register

ASCII Code

Bytes

Data

Function

@A 3

Enable

Writes data to port’s direction register. Lines with a
corresponding bit value of 0 have their pull up resistors turned
on, lines with a bit value of 1 have their pull up resistors turned
off

The power up default for Enable is 255; all pull up resistors turned off

Operation:

This command affects all eight lines of port A whose direction is set as an input. The

Enable Value is written to the entire port with each of the bits in the byte affecting the
corresponding I/O line. To change a single I/O line’s behaviour without affecting the
others it is necessary to store the old value of the register or read its current value before
writing a new value with only the corresponding bits changed. To set the entire port with
pull up resistors turned on use Enable = 0 to turn all the pull up resistors off use Enable =
255 to set 0, 1, 2 and 3 as on and 4, 5, 6 and 7 as off use Enable = 240.

Example:

Winsock1.

SendData “@A” + Chr$(

Enable

Function

@B 3

off

The power up default for Enable is 255; all pull up resistors turned off
