How do I pass a pin definition through a function.
PostPosted: Tue May 13, 2008 9:08 am     Reply with quote

I have several pins
#define Reader1 pin_b0
#define Reader2 pin_b1
#define Reader3 pin_b2

Currently each pin has its own function. I would like to make it so that I have one function that can use all 3 pins...

Something like
ReadTemp(Reader1);
ReadTemp(Reader2);
ReadTemp(Reader3);

The only thing is I don't know how to declare the variable in the function void ReadTemp(xxxxx); I don't know what to put in the xxxx to allow the pin number to be used...

Any help is greatly appreciated..

int16.

So something like:
Code:

int16 ReadTemp(int16 pin) {
   output_high(pin);
   return(what_you_want);
}


This is only supported in the latter compilers (older version 3 compilers only supported constants for the pin definitions). Routines to allow a variable to access a pin, for the older compilers, have been posted here on several occasions.

P.S. That works only with v4. However, I guess most users of v3 knows about this limitation.

I do mention this limitation. PCM programmer, and myself (amongst others), have posted code to access the pins with a variable, for the V3 compilers.
