Thanks for your help :-D

Just so I'm clear, ref pink book page 10-17.
Does the "bit_set( 0x1021, 1 );" refer to bit 0 -EDG3B, and
bit_clear( 0x1021, 2 ); " refer to bit 1 -EDG3A.
This is what was throwing me, I always thought bits started at zero and
ended at 7, not 1 to 8 as appears to be the case here. Is this what the
"zero-indexed " means?

sorry if it's a basic question, but if you don't ask you never learn :-)

thanks Again

Adam



In the sonar code from the web site, the rising edge detection on timer • input channel 3 (TIC3) is set like this:

   bit_clear( 0x1021, 2 ); bit_set( 0x1021, 1 );

According to the little pink book, address 0x1021 is the Timer Control
Register 2 (TCTL2) (in the Register & Control Bit Assignments section). To
set channel 3 to capture falling edges only, you'd make the last two bits
(set, clear) instead of (clear, set), like this:

   bit_set( 0x1021, 2 ); bit_clear( 0x1021, 1 );

Hope this helps!

BTW, can anyone tell me why the bit_set and bit_clear commands aren't
zero-indexed WRT the bit index (like everything else in C and machine code
is)? Just curious.

(...) No, that's a very good question. It had me confused, too. The second argument to bit_set and bit_clear is not actually the index of a bit at all; it's a bit mask. For example, when you do bit_set( 0x1021, 3 ), the 3 becomes 0000 0011 in (...) (24 years ago, 16-Mar-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
