Usage Examples

Usage 1: Displaying ASCII characters on a Digital8 component

In this example, the use of the Digital8 component for displaying ASCII characters is illustrated. The very simple assembly shows how the component interprets 8-bit input as an index into the table of ASCII characters (the first 128 characters form the standard ASCII table). The "TYPE" property of the component is set to "ASCII" to achieve this functionality.

Note the order in which the bits are interpreted - the right hand pin corresponds to the most significant bit in the orientation at which the component is added to the workspace. (The component has been rotated 180 degrees in this example).
