Change PIN at Runtime
PostPosted: Sat Nov 27, 2021 5:02 am     Reply with quote
In many examples we can use for example a #Define Pin_to_Use PIN_D1.

This is used when compiler generate the code.

However I have seen an example of change the PIN in runtime like this:
Code:

int16 pin_to_use;

pin_to_use=PIN_B0;

output_low(pin_to_use);

pin_to_use=PIN_B1;

output_low(pin_to_use);

But this does not work in my case so I wonder what can go wrong with this type of code in CCS ? It compiles OK but the I/O address is wrong not point to the address defined in header file for the MCU.

Are there other ways to alter the PIN in an output_high(PIN_xx) at runtime maybe ?

I use compiler 5.076 and MCU is a 30F5011.

Edited, the variable address is OK. I can change a static LED but it seems that when I change to variable the output / input functions take some more time to compute. Is that the case ??

doing it as shown ,will require time to get the desired pin and insert into the output function

why not just ...

#DEFINE this_pin PIN_B2;
#DEFINE that_pin PIN_B4;
...
...
output_low(this_pin);
output_low(that_pin);
...
...
it 'should be faster'.....

See this post. It shows how much ASM code is required if you use
a variable to pass the CCS pin number.

You can also use the get_env for the PORT and LAT register addresses.

Then build a struct as you like with a default set of values.

Then just write those values to PORT/LAT registers on start up.

You end up configuring an entire register with a single write.

I'd have to go look at an old example to see how much ASM results.... but it should be pretty thin.
