Number (1-127) to control 7 IO

ok, have program on pc sends number 1 127, tell arduino pins activate. key goes this:
    pin 13 = 64
    pin 12 = 32
    pin 11 = 16
    pin 10 = 8
    pin 9 = 4
    pin 8 = 2
    pin 7 = 1

so if pc sends 127, pins on.
i have code works first two, messy implement more. wondering if there shortcuts getting pin control information out.

code: [select]


char serinstring[100];  // array hold different bytes of string. 100=100characters;
                       // -> must state how long array else won't work properly
char colorcode;
int colorval;
int x;

int outputpin = 13;
int outputpin2 = 12;

void setup() {
 pinmode(outputpin, output);
 pinmode(outputpin2, output);
 serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop () {
 //read serial port , create string out of read
 readserialstring(serinstring);
 colorval = atoi(serinstring);
 serinstring[0] = 0;
 serinstring[1] = 0;
 serinstring[2] = 0;
 serinstring[3] = 0;  
 serial.println(colorval, bin);
   if (colorval - 64 >= 0) {
     digitalwrite(outputpin, high);
     colorval = colorval - 64;
       if (colorval - 32 >= 0) {
     digitalwrite(outputpin2, high);
     colorval = colorval - 32;
       }
       else if (colorval - 32 < 0) {
     digitalwrite(outputpin2, low);
       }
   }
   else if (colorval - 64 < 0) {
     digitalwrite(outputpin, low);
     if (colorval - 32 >= 0) {
     digitalwrite(outputpin2, high);
     colorval = colorval - 32;
       }
       else if (colorval - 32 < 0) {
     digitalwrite(outputpin2, low);
   }
   }
 delay(100);  // wait bit, serial data
}

//read string serial , store in array
//you must supply array variable
void readserialstring (char *strarray) {
 int = 0;
 if(!serial.available()) {
   return;
 }
 while (serial.available()) {
   strarray[i] = serial.read();
   i++;
 }
}


this function issues digital number between 0 , 15 on 4 io pins. believe trick you.

code: [select]


void issueevent(int code) {
     
     int x = 0;
     for (x=3; x>=0; x--) {
           digitalwrite(do_trigger_code_start+3-x, ((code & int(pow(2,x))) ? high : low));
     }
}


note : do_trigger_code_start in context first pin on issue number. it's supposed (in code) msb, use do_trigger_code_start+3-x pin number. don't need this.
note 2 : rewrote code little better fit need. haven't tested it, should work.
