PES I - 46 Review Basic techniques for reading from port pins We can send some data to Port 1 as follows sfr P1 0x90 Usually in header file P1 0x0F Write 00001111 to Port 1 In exactly the same way we can read from Port 1 as follows unsigned char Port_data P1 0xFF Set the port to read mode Port_data P1 Read from the port Copyright Michael J.
