binary out to pins - mechatronicsccc - Jul 5 23:36:07 2007
I know in the basic stamp I could output a number out to 8 outputs and
these outputs are connected to LEDs and it would give it out in binary.
Can I do this with the basicX and how?

Yes. Read up on registers. Port A is pins 13 - 20. Port C is pins 5 - 12
For example register.ddrA = bx0111_0000 will set pin 13 low, and pins
14-16 high.
register.ddrA = bx0000_0001 will set pin 20 high.
Alternatively for example register.ddrA = 112 will set pin 13 low, and
pins 14-16 high.

Yes, sure
I have used such idea with my students.
Just use Putpin (pin number, BXoutputhigh)
Make sure you connect a 400ohm resitor in series with the LED
