The Below registers will be used for Configuring and using the GPIOs registers for sending and receiving the Digital signals.
+
 
+
 
+
 
+
<b>PINSEL:</b> GPIO Pins Select Register<br>
+
Almost all the LPC1768 pins are multiplexed to support more than 1 function. Every GPIO pin has a minimum of one function and max of four functions. The required function can be selected by configuring the PINSEL register. As there can be up to 4 functions associated with a GPIO pin, two bits for each pin are available to select the function. This implies that we need two PINSEL registers to configure a PORT pins.
+
By this, the first 16(P0.0-P0.16) pin functions of PORT0 can be selected by 32 bits of PINSEL0 register. The remaining 16 bits(P0.16-P0.32) are configured using 32bits of PINSEL1 register. 
+
As mentioned earlier every pin has max of four functions. Below table shows how to select the function for a particular pin using two bits of the PINSEL register.

<b>FIODIR:</b>Fast GPIO Direction Control Register.<br>This register individually controls the direction of each port pin.

<b>FIOSET:</b>Fast Port Output Set Register.<br>This register controls the state of output pins. Writing 1s produces highs at the corresponding port pins. Writing 0s has no effect. Reading this register returns the current contents of the port output register not the physical port value.

<b>FIOCLR:</b>Fast Port Output Clear Register.<br>This register controls the state of output pins. Writing 1s produces lows at the corresponding port pins. Writing 0s has no effect.

+
 
+
 
+
 
+
 
+
<b>FIOPIN:</b>Fast Port Pin Value Register.<br>This register is used for both reading and writing data from/to the PORT.<br>
+
<b>Output:</b> Writing to this register places corresponding values in all bits of the particular PORT pins.<br>
+
<b>Input:</b>  The current state of digital port pins can be read from this register, regardless of pin direction or alternate function selection (as long as pins are not configured as an input to ADC).<br>
+
<b>Note:</b>It is recommended to configure the PORT direction and pin function before using it.

===Using Explore Embedded Libraries :===
 
In the above tutorial we just discussed how to configure the PORTS for GPIO for blinking the Leds.<br>
 
Once you know the GPIO configurations, you can directly use the ExploreEmbedded libraries to play around with LEDs.<br>
 
For that you need to include the gpio.c/gpio.h and the associated files(delay/stdutils).<br>
 
The below sample code shows how to use the GPIO functions.<br>
 
  
Refer this link for more info on GPIO libraries.

Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are simple and most commonly used electronic components to display the digital signal states. The LED emits light when current is passed through it. It could blow up if we pass more current, hence we put a current limiting resistor. Usually, 220, 470 and 1K ohm resistors are commonly used as limiting resistors. You can use any of these depending on the required brightness. Lets, start blinking with LEDs and then generate the different patterns using the available LEDs.

8051 Ports

The basic and important feature of any controllers is the number of GPIO's available for connecting the peripherals. 8051 has 32-gpio's grouped into 4-Ports namely P0-P3 as shown in the below table.

PORT Number of Pins Alternative Function
P0 8 (P0.0-P0.7) AD0-AD7 (Address and Data bus)
P1 8 (P1.0-P1.7) None
P2 8 (P2.0-P2.7) A8-A15 (Higher Address Bus)
P3 8 (P3.0-P3.7) UART, Interrupts, (T0/T1)Counters

As shown in the above table many I/O pins have multiple functions. If a pin is used for other function then it may not be used as a gpio.

Examples

Example 1

Program to demonstrate the LED blinking. LED's are connected to P2 as shown in the above image.
LEDs are turned ON by sending a high pulse (All Ones).
After some time the LEDs are turned OFF by sending the low pulse (All Zeros).



Example 2

In this example, we will see how to access a single port pin to blink the LED.
