√
Note the values displayed in the Debug Terminal; it should display that both P7
and P5 are equal to 1.
√
Check Figure 5-5 on page 169 (or Figure 5-6 on page 170) so you know which
whisker is the "left whisker" and which whisker is the "right whisker".
√
Press the right whisker into its three-pin header, and note the values displayed in
the Debug Terminal. It should now read:
P5 = 1 P7 = 0
√
Press the left whisker into its three-pin header, and note the value displayed in
the Debug Terminal again. This time it should read:
P5 = 0 P7 = 1
√
Press both whiskers against both three-pin headers. Now it should read
P5 = 0 P7 = 0
√
If the whiskers passed all these tests, you're ready to move on; otherwise, check
your program and circuits for errors.
What is CRSRXY
It is a formatter that allows you to conveniently arrange information your program sends to
the Debug Terminal. The formatter
DEBUG CRSRXY, 0, 3,
places the cursor at column 0, row 3 in the Debug Terminal. This makes it display nicely
below the "Whisker States" table heading. Each time through the loop, the new values
overwrite the old values because the cursor keeps going back to the same place.
