if I have a 16 bit variable (number) and I try to send it out one bit at a time on RCO (the first bit of a register also the data line) will it work as I intend it??
example: *Note RC0 is first bit of register...
//code
RC0=number;
RCO=number >>1;
RCO=number>>2;
RCO=number>>3;
etc ...
etc....
//end code
if not... any other simple suggestions??
Hard to tell if that would work.
If RC0 is supposed to be only one bit then it might be better to use
Anyway, using a loop would improve the solution.Code:RC0 = number & 1; RC0 = ( number >> 1 )& 1;

What device? Do you have to bit-bang it or are there available peripherals?Originally Posted by theeld
7. It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
40. There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.*
C can't just read one bit. So if your program is written in C, (whatever's reading on the other end) the smallest you're sending across is going to be one byte, or rather, a char (CHAR_BIT in size). Likewise, the smallest you can send is going to be one byte also.
Quzah.
Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
