Inout/output with variable mask

[Jan Lichtenbelt]

I want to get the input (or set the output) with a variable mask instead of a fixed mask. This last one is possible in Flowcode. But, as far as I know, the variable mask is not possible with Flowcode. The solution in C-code seems simple. For input use the FCP_SET() and for output use FCP_GET(), with the third variable the mask byte.

But where can I find the meaning of the other paramters of these functions?

With kind regards

Hello Jan,

You can find the definitions of those functions in the FAMILY_CAL_IO.h file in the CAL directory.

This is the prototype.

FCP_GET(Type, Port, Mask, Shift)
FCP_SET(Type, Port, Mask, Shift, Source)

Type:

B - Byte - Port Byte - Mainly on multi byte devices 16-bit PICs, ARM etc
M - Masked
F - Full Port

A simple way of allowing for data and mask is like this.

Mask = 0x18
Data = 0x08

Reg = (Reg & ~Mask) | (Mask & Data)

A more robust way to do the same thing but using absolute values might be to use something like this.

Shift = 3
Mask = 0x3
Data = 0x1

Reg = (Reg & ~(Mask << Shift)) | ((Mask & Data) << Shift)

Dear Ben

I tried to set the Ports B0, B1 etc to 1, using the variable shift=0,1.2..7

Hi Jan,
You are nearly there, just need to adjust the mask as well ...

Code: Select all

FCP_SET(M,B,(1<<FCV_SHIFT),FCV_SHIFT,(0xFF));

Hi ...

It works. Please find an example with running light. I want to use it for an other application.

With kind regrads
