Macro reference

ReadAll

	ReadAll
Reads all of the switches at once, returning a byte containing one bit per switch.
- BYTE	Return

ReadState

	ReadState
Read the state of the switch at the given index.
- BYTE	Index
The switch to read the status of.
- BOOL	Return

WaitUntilHigh

	WaitUntilHigh
Pause the program until the switch at the given index is turned on.
- BYTE	Index
Index of the switch to wait for.
- VOID	Return

WaitUntilLow

	WaitUntilLow
Pause the program until the switch at the given index is turned on.
- BYTE	Index
Index of the switch to wait for.
- VOID	Return

Property reference

	Properties
	Connections
	Input Mode
Choose how your switches are connected. PORT = Single port byte for all switches - pins are allocated in sequence from pin 0 - X Custom = Individual pin by pin connections
	Port

	Switch Settings
	Debounce
Sets the time in milliseconds to allow a pin change to settle into a stable state. NB) Debouncing is only used when reading the button state using the component macros. Chip pins are NOT debounced.
	Simulation
	Latching Switches
When simulating it can be impossible to press multiple switches at once. Latching allows multiple to be set on/off at once, note this won't effect the operation of the physical real world switches.
