Thanks for links. But i can't understand "output_float()" function yet. Could you help me for the function (output_float() )? Also i want to more information and examples for the #use standart_io, #use fast_io. What are the difference?Thanks.

Read Ttelmah's explanation of output_float() in this post:

Did you read those links ? They have very good explanations.

Ok.
All 'output_float' does, is switches the pin to be an _input_, but does not read the data.
This switches off the drivers, so the pin goes high impedance. If it is being used as an 'output', it is then 'floating', hence the name.

Sorry PCM,
Didn't see you had already pointed this out. I was using a small screen, and 'missed' your last post, when I replied. Smile
Hate it when this happens.

output_float() and TRIS
PostPosted: Thu Apr 26, 2007 7:09 am     Reply with quote

Hi!

As far as I understood one can save program memory by #use fast_io(port). The con is that one has to set the TRIS registers manually for input or output. If pins don't change directions this has to be done only in the beginning o the program? Right?

Unfortunately I don't quite understand how I have to set the TRIS when unsing output_float() - as input (1) or as output (0)?

Thanks for any help!

What output_float( does is set the tris bit to input (1).

Thanks! So I suppose I have to set it manually when using fast_io.

That's correct. Either with a set_tris_x() function call or an output_float() function call.

You mean the output_float() will auto-set the TRIS bit even in fast_io mode? Or did I misunderstand?

To find out what a CCS function does, write a short test program,
compile it and look at the .LST file.

Example:
You have a question about the code produced by the output_float()
function when using "fast_io" mode.

Here is the short test program.
Code:

#include <18F452.h>
#fuses XT,NOWDT,PUT,BROWNOUT,NOLVP
#use delay(clock=4000000)

#use fast_io(B)

//===========================
void main()
{
output_float(PIN_B0);

while(1);
}


Here is the .LST file, after compiling with PCH vs. 4.032:
You can see that it sets pin B0 as an input.
Code:
.................... void main()
.................... {
0004:  CLRF   TBLPTRU
0006:  BCF    RCON.IPEN
0008:  CLRF   FSR0H
000A:  CLRF   FSR0L
000C:  BSF    ADCON1.PCFG0
000E:  BSF    ADCON1.PCFG1
0010:  BSF    ADCON1.PCFG2
0012:  BCF    ADCON1.PCFG3
.................... output_float(PIN_B0);
0014:  BSF    TRISB.0    // It sets pin B0 as an input pin.
.................... 
.................... 
.................... 
.................... while(1);
0016:  BRA    0016
.................... }

Thanks a lot for the code. That's what I will do next time first Smile
