Hi guys
I'm playing with a hx711 and need to implement the following code.

for (i=0;i<24;i++){
ADSK=1;
Count=Count<<1;
ADSK=0;
if(ADDO) Count++;
}
ADSK=1;
Count=Count^0x800000;
ADSK=0;
return(Count);

How do I shift left as in "Count<<1"
I see in the manual a reference to RShift = nbr\(2^bits)

Thanks very much.
Steve

Shifting one bit to the left is the same as multiplying by 2.

However the code you posted should work with a little modification as MMbasic does support shifting and XOR'ing.
From the manual page 49.
(Make sure the Count variable is an INTEGER!)
[code]
Shift operators:
x << y x >> y These operate in a special way.

<< means that the value returned will be the value
of x shifted by y bits to the left while

>> means the same only right shifted.
They are integer functions and any bits shifted
off are discarded and any bits introduced are set to zero.
[/code]
The ^ operator is called XOR in MMBasic.
(You can find that on the same page).

Microblocks. Build with logic.

@steveizett

LShift = nbr *(2^bits)

I think (AFAIK) the MMBasic (4.5) for Maximites has no shift operators.
... also no integers.

Oops, missed the Maximite reference in the topic.

Just use:
[code]
Count = Count * 2
[/code]

Remember that you are limited to about 23 bits for integers in 32 bit floating point.

Thanks guys for the help
Sounds like I need to use micromite for this app.
Cheers
Steve
