Using a Pin of the PIC for Two Components

Post by electron67 »

Hello, a general question,

In my program and in the hardware I am using several components, I have connected a Keypad (eb014) A0 A1 A2 A3 and C0 C1 C2 the keypad is only used the first time the circuit is turned on, only the keypad is re-occupied when you change Parameters, when the program is in a stage where the keypad is not required, can I use the Analog input AN0 (A0) for a sensor, without affecting the program or PIC ? :?: with continuous use or with the passage of time? :?:

Thank You
Enrique

Hi,
Yes, in general, Flowcode components configure (or re-configure) their connected pin(s) when they are initialized or enabled.
You might need to protect the output of the sensor from the output strobes of the keyboard though.

Hi Leigh, thanks for the response,

Is I needed to know; that could be reconfigured without damage in an operating time. :D

Best Regards
