@BaCaRdi,
Lets get really nuts.....like I need help.lol
Say I don't know, that you are able to understand binary.....Can't...well I can help with that if need be.
Lets take..say pins(ports) on a Microcontroller for instance.
There is much more than this to it...but this is the "roundabout" idea behind it.
Code: pins(Ports) 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 <--- decimal notation, moot point.
pins(Ports) 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 <---Binary notation....
What are we really saying here...we "simply" put, pins(ports)
Code:6,4,2
are on..ports
Code:7, 5, 3, 1 , 0
are off.
Welcome to the binary world...
