Display Name
The name of the icon that appears on the flowchart.
Port
Select from a list of the ports available on the target microcontroller.
Variable
Select the name of the variable that you wish to input the port state into. Clicking on the down arrow brings up the variables dialog window allowing you to select an existing variable or to create a new one.
Advanced
By selecting the 'Show advanced options' you can individual pins.
Single Bit
Use this option to read the state of a single bit of the port.
When the state of a single bit is true the value of that bit is passed as its value.
Entire Port
Use this option to read the value of the entire port into the variable.
Use Masking
When masking is used, it is possible to read only certain bits into a variable. This is useful when some bits of the port are configured as outputs.
When a mask is used only the values of the selected bits are read.
Use chip references
When using target devices that have a mixture of a letter and a number or just a number, for example, on Arduino Uno - A2
If 'Use chip references' is unticked, you can select A2.
If 'Use chip references' is ticked, it will be PORT C2.
Video
See the Input icon video to see how this icon can be used in your Flowcode projects.
