Hello, I am really stuck on part a and b for problem 1 below. I am really confused on how to change the multiply and divide functions to change pins/LED’s, using the << and >> functions instead.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Multiple LEDs and using and input button
1. Modify the C program:
a. Instead of using the multiply and divide functions to change pins/LED’s, use the << and >> functions. References: Deitel and Deitel “C, How to Program and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operators_in_C_and_C
b. Change the clock frequency in the program to 1 MHz and make the on/off time of each LED .1 seconds. This should make the rotation visibly faster. (Remember to change the _XTAL_FREQ value since this is used for the __delay_ms() function built into XC8)
Devices:
Low Pin Count board (16F1829 on board) and 44-Pin Demo Board are both on same backboard. (You only use the 16F1829 for this lab.)
PICKIT 3 programmer with USB cable
MPLAB X (I used v3.00 but a different version may be on lab computers))
