Creation of a GPIO header file

Hi.

I am giving something some thought.

I would like to create a header file that will contain all of the information regarding each pin.

Code:

---

//example
ANSELAbits.ANS1 = 0;      //set to digital
TRISAbits.TRISA1 = 0;      //set as output
#define LED1 PORTAbits.RA1  //define pin name

---

I want to do the above for each pin (a 100 pin PIC32) so that they are easier to manage in one place.

I know that i can add #define within the .h file. But im not so sure about the setting of the registers.

Is there a "best practice" for this type of thing?

The assignments would have to go into a source file.

Perhaps as a series of static functions to initialise each feature separately, which in turn are called by a single initHardware() type function.

Thanks Salem,

I had to go read up on what a static function was...newby problems... But i get the method you are describing.

This should achieve what i want it to and make it easier for me. :)
