InputM ii+

(T=Z; Z=Y; Y=X;) X = input(ii)...input(ii+7)

Pushes the on/off state of 8 input points ii through ii+7 to X in individual bits of X. An On input gives a '1', and Off input gives a '0'.

Note with this instruction the inputs are debounced. This differs from InputFM which doesn't debounce the inputs so is faster but prone to glitches.

Here's an example of reading a bunch of consecutive switches and doing something with them:


iSwitch1 iEQU  2
iSwitch2 iEQU  3
iSwitch3 iEQU  4

   InputM   iSwitch1    ;read 8 inputs, starting at the "lowest" switch
   LoadX    %00000111   ;mask off inputs..
   AndM                 ;..we don't want
   ;now X contains a value from %000 (0) thru %111 (7) representing the 3 inputs
   Branch               ;branch on X
   Target   _SW000
   Target   _SW001
   Target   _SW010
   ;..etc..
   Target   _SW111

_SW000
   ;do something
   Goto  _End
_SW001
   ;do something
   Goto  _End
_SW010
   ;do something
   Goto  _End
_SW111
   ;do something
   Goto  _End


_End
