Super Serial Switch Setting Status

     Ok, So I thought i'd bring this all together and try out just a few more tricks before moving onto something more comprehensive.  Having automatically identified the slot assignment and storing the value in zp SLOT $07 we can do some useful things with it by loading it into Y and using it as an offset when interfacing with the SSC as previously discussed.  As a demonstration, ive chosen not the command and control registers for this task, but the LS365 IC by which the physical DIP switches on the card are read into the registers as required.  That is to say, I do not want to know what the COMMAND and CONTROL values are.  I want to know what they WOULD BE, if read from those switches.   That said, not all of the individual switches are wired to the LS365; 3 of them are not connected, and in its stead, Clear to send has been added to one pin of the LS365 so its kinda weird.

The program starts off just like the previous one. Identifying which slot the SSC is found in...

Checking for SSC Card... Found in -->02

The next three values presented are Baud:, Mode:, and Data:.  I decided since this program was cut and dry that I might as well have some fun with this.  Ill forgo talking about how the labels for these three values appear in the program, it should be obvious through the course of code.   A quick note that there is some setcursor routines added to make the printout more manageable.

BAUD
The first order of business is BAUD and its settings reside in Switch 1, so we get the value of SWONE,Y (Y being the offset of SLOT) and store it to TESTBYTE, where we store switch values temporarily, because i'm about to do weird things to the value in the Accumulator throughout this program. I did something here to save a lot of code and cycles, so I shall explain.  BAUD takes up BITS 7 through 4 as saved in TESTBYTE and I don't care about anything else right now so we apply an AND mask of #$F0 to the Accumulator such that:

BITS    76543210  
VALUE   01101100
MASK    11110000
RESULT  01100000


Whatever the result is in the Accumulator, four ROR instructions are immediately issued to that result as shown below.

RESULT  01100000
ROR     00110000
ROR     00011000
ROR     00001100

ROR     00000110

     What is left is a 4 bit value that can be used in looking up the speed in the list of values in memory in the BAUDS/BAUDS2 label shown at the bottom portion of program memory.  Each speed is separated by a space character in the listing.  The code is reading that entire area of memory and looking for key value #$A0(space)as an index.  It will keep passing these spaces as many times as the value derived in the Accumulator, in this case, 6 times (0110) and then print the label until the next space character is reached, ending the print action.  If you look at BAUDS below and count 6 spaces and then start reading you will see that.

   Baud: 300                           



MODE
The mode pulls TESTBYTE into the Accumulator, though it could really just re-pull from the switch, but that would mean re-initializing Y each time, so thats a consideration where every byte and cycle counts, so consider that.   Anyway.   Accumulator is loaded and another AND mask is conducted, this time #$03


BITS    76543210  
VALUE   01101100
MASK    00000011
RESULT  00000000


Now were only dealing with a 2 bit value with four possibilities. Using the same technique as bauds it is found on the bottom of memory, in the label of modes, four such possibilities separated by spaces to arrive at a printed value, such that:

   Baud: 300                           
   Mode: Communication                 



DATA
The final value DATA is not one but 3 separate values tied together.  This requires information from switch 2, so SWTWO is now loaded into TESTBYTE and at the same time the Accumulator.

DATA - The STOP BIT

This is one boolean value, BIT 6 that determines if the STOP BIT is a 1 or a 2, so the value in the Accumulator will need a mask of #$40

BITS    76543210  
VALUE   01010000
MASK    01000000
RESULT  01000000


The value is boolean so there is no fancy code, a test if done after the mask,  if the Accumulator is holding #$40, print a 1, of not print a 2.   A quick print of #$AD after that just prints a dash '-' so that

   Data:  1-


DATA - The DATA BIT

For the Data bit, almost the exact same process, boolean value, pull TESTBYTE into Accumulator, but this time mask is #$10

BITS    76543210  
VALUE   01010001
MASK    00010000
RESULT  00010000


If the Accumulator is holding #$10, print an 8, if not print a 7, followed by #$AD for a dash so that
   Data:  1-8-



DATA - The PARITY

This again uses the same convention but has four possibilities for an output via testing and comparison.  The loading of TESTBYTE into the Accumulator follows a mask of #$0C

BITS    76543210  
VALUE   01010001
MASK    00001100
RESULT  00010000


A result of #$00 or #$08 will print an N, #$04 prints an O and #$0C will print an E, resulting in
   Data:  1-8-N


The final output of the program should appear as shown below.
