This is my first time using LIFA, as its a quick fix for a client.
Two questions:
PortWrite:
1) Port Write says it writes to all 14 digital pins, but you have to set them to OUTPUT first.
2) If you attempt to set pins 0-1 as outputs, you get an error, and the description mentions that those pins are reserved for communication.
I don't need those pins, but I checked the code and the digitalWrite() code is called for pins 0 and 1. I assume that one of those pins might be set as an output (the Tx pin?), so is the PortWrite inherently broken?!
PortWrite on MEGA:
Is there any way, without modifying the LIFA base code, to write to all the MEGA ports? Or does this have to be done one pin at a time?
For this application, I will be using a MEGA, but I don't need simultaneous digital writes.
Bonus third question: Has anyone extended the LIFA code? This all seems like a great start, but the first thing I am gonna do is extend thisfor port writes on the MEGA. Seems like others would have already done this. I am also considering porting this to Particle.IO devices, which operate over TCP, so it seems like that would be a basic extension.
Anyway, thanks in advance.
