 Reading Serial Data
• When Reading Serial Data, it is very
common to use a “shifting” operation
– Get the 1st bit of data
– Shift the data (inside a variable)
– Get the 2nd bit of data
– Shift the data
– …

 Reading Serial Data

• Word of Caution ( software guideline )

– Do not shift the data until you are ready to read
the next bit
• Only shift the data before reading the next bit
• Not after reading
– Shifting data after reading the bit may result in
shifting a data bit out of the variable boundaries
 Reading Serial Data

• Use an IF construct to test the incoming

serial bit of data
if ( DOUT != 0 )
{

}
• If the bit of data is “set” use a Bitwise OR
to set the corresponding bit in the variable
 Reading Serial Data (MSB 1st)

• Use an IF construct to test the incoming

serial bit of data
if ( DOUT != 0 )
{
value = value | 0x01;
}
• If the bit of data is “set” use a Bitwise OR
to set the corresponding bit in the variable
 Reading Serial Data (LSB 1st)

• Use an IF construct to test the incoming

serial bit of data
if ( DOUT != 0 )
{
value = value | 0x80;
}
• If the bit of data is “set” use a Bitwise OR
to set the corresponding bit in the variable
 Reading Serial Data

• Use a For Loop ( I start with n # of bits and

count down)
– Shift the variable to make room for the new
data bit that is going to be read
– Read the data bit
– Work the Clock
