Know switch position

Post by victorf »

I have a SPST switch wired to a port such that the port sees 0V if the switch is open and +5V if the switch is closed. When the ZX-24 is initialized there is no way to know which position the switch is in. How do I configure the port as an input? I want to watch the switch until the user sets it to a desired position.

Any enlightenment will be appreciated.

PutPin sets an I/O pin to input or output. You can poll the pin using GetPin() until it changes state.

mikep,

I guess I really knew that. :oops: Probably a senior moment. Please disregard the OP
