BusOut

BusOut class hierarchy

Use the BusOut interface to combine a number of DigitalOut pins to write them at once. This API is useful for writing to multiple pins together as single interface instead of individual pins.

You can use any of the numbered Arm Mbed pins as a DigitalOut in the BusOut.

Tips:

  • You can have up to 16 pins in a Bus.
  • The order of pins in the constructor is the reverse order of the pins in the byte order. So if you have BusOut(a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h), then the order of bits in the byte would be hgfedcba with a being bit 0, b being bit 1, c being bit 2 and so on.
