Enum pl_io_port_num

Enum pl_io_port_num contains the list of available 8-bit general-purpose I/O (GPIO) ports. Use these constants when selecting the port with the io. object (see the io.portnum property).

Note that GPIO lines are of the unidirectional type and require explicit configuration as outputs or inputs. Some lines are configured as inputs or outputs automatically — see Enum pl_io_num for details.

The DS1206 controller and the DS1206N-RS board have the RS232 transceiver IC onboard. This IC "dictates" the GPIO line direction for certain lines. Do not try to use GPIO lines 0, 2, 4, and 6 as outputs — this can permanently damage the hardware.

Enum pl_io_port_num includes the following constants:
