BASIC Stamp II

SHIFTIN

Shift bits in synchronously.

usage:

SHIFTIN dpin,cpin,mode,[variable{\bits},...]

Dpin

is the data input.

Cpin

is the clock output.

Mode

is 0 for msb-first/pre-clock, 1 for lsb-first/pre-clock, 2 for msb-

first/post-clock, or 3 for lsb-first/post-clock.

Variable

receives the shifted-in data.

Bits

is an optional bit count. Values from 1-16 can be given; 8 is the

default.

The following symbols are defined for use with SHIFTIN:

Symbol

Value

MSBPRE

LSBPRE

MSBPOST

LSBPOST
