Autoit - Help!! How to port map a specific Bit?

[Billy24]

Hi Folks,

I'm new to Autoit and I'm messing around with some SPI device interfacing.
What I am trying to do is Map specific output Ports on my connected device to reflect a specific bit within a variable.

So for instance if I have an integer:

Local $iOUTPUTS = 0xAF

and I have 8 separate Output ports on my device:

declared as: POUT0 to POUT7

 

So within Autoit,  how can I assign specific Bits from the same variable to different Ports on my device?

Essentially what I'm trying to do is create a parallel port on my SPI device using its I/O ports and have it reflect a single Variable.

Bit0 of "iOUPOUTS"  = PORT0
Bit1 of "iOUPOUTS"  = PORT1
Bit2 of "iOUPOUTS"  = PORT2
Bit3 of "iOUPOUTS"  = PORT3
Bit4 of "iOUPOUTS"  = PORT4
Bit5 of "iOUPOUTS"  = PORT5
Bit6 of "iOUPOUTS"  = PORT6
Bit7 of "iOUPOUTS"  = PORT7

 

In C programming I believe this is done using a LAT function like that shown below:

#define RB15  LATBbits.LATB15
 #define RB14  LATBbits.LATB14
 #define RB13  LATBbits.LATB13
 #define RB12  LATBbits.LATB12
 #define RB11  LATBbits.LATB11
 #define RB10  LATBbits.LATB10
 #define RB6   LATBbits.LATB6
 #define RB5   LATBbits.LATB5
 #define RB4   LATBbits.LATB4

However I need to implement this within Autoit and I'm wondering if there is a way to do this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

I'm no big expert, but I'm reasonably certain there in no native functionality within AutoIt3 to accomplish this.

What you might be better looking for is a third party dll which can, and using that from AutoIt.
