LOW

Syntax: LOW Pin

Function

Make the specified pin output low.

• Pin is a variable/constant/expression (0 - 15) that specifies which I/O pin to set low. This pin will be placed into output mode.

* Note: expressions are not allowed as arguments on the BS1. The range of the Pin argument on the BS1 is 0–7.

Quick Facts

Explanation

The LOW command sets the specified pin to 0 (a 0 volt level) and then sets its mode to output. For example,

  LOW 6

...does exactly the same thing as:

  PIN6 = 0
  DIR6 = 1

  OUT6 = 0
  DIR6 = 1

Using the LOW command is faster in this case.
