Hi Guys (if your still out there)

I've got a question about using an oDio4 object. I'm using an 'R' board
ver 2.2+ and Ver 5 compiler for this. I've dimmed an oDio4 to use IO
group =1 nibble 0 (io's 8-11) and I want to use io12 for a oDio1
control, but I can't get the oDio1 to change it's state. If I use the
lower nibble of IOGroup 1 does that lock me out from using the 'unused'
pins of that group for anything else? Anybody?

Why don't you strip your code to the absolute minimum required to
demonstrate the problem and post it with your query? There shouldn't
be more than a dozen lines of code.

It is easy to cut and paste the code to the IDE and test it. Writing
a new program to demonstrate somebody else's problem is a waste of
time. It won't be the same program.

Here's my code Richard. What am I doing wrong?

'This program uses an
'8243 4-bit IO Expander with

'1. Put Control Nibble on Data Pack
'2. Bring Prog line low

End Sub'Main
'******************************
Sub Setup()

data.iogroup=1 'lines 8-15

Data.Direction=cvOutput
Data=0

PROG.IOLine=12

Maybe the part where sub main() didn't call sub setup()?

OOOOOOH You are SOOOOO good!!! I get focused on the hard parts and
forget the easy ones! Thanks man for catchin' that.
