Hi anyone, today I´ve got two questions I would like to know how read with the instruction (readbit) a bit 0 lever that's to say how to detect that the bit has changed from 1 to 0.
tha second question is reated to software, and C programming, there are many programs that Tom has made as examples, some of them include Loops that are executed for ever. my question how can include two o more than two of these loops in the same program, what's the correct way If so can you post an example.
thanks in advanced
Carlos

Hi Carlos,

To do something when an input transitions from 1->0 you might write some code to remember the last state and look for the case where the new state is now 0 but the last state was 1. Here is an example:

int NewState,LastState;

LastState=ReadBit(46);

for ( ; ; ) // loop forever
{

NewState=ReadBit(46);
If (NewState==0 && LastState==1)
{

// do something because bit changed from 1 to 0

}
LastState=NewState; // remember the last State

}




For the case where there multiple things that you wish to be continuously monitored you can use a single loop and put all the things you need to do in the same loop. See below:



for ( ; ; ) // loop forever
{

// Do one thing here
// Do something else here

}
