Digital Inputs?

Hello!

I am using C++ and I have a question about implementing Digital Inputs in the code… Is Get() the function that means “true” or no? I basically want an if statement saying if DigitalInput1 is true, then this, but I am unsure which function to use to set the condition… =(

Thank you!!!

DigitalInput DigtalInput1(1);//port1
if (DigialInput.Get())
{
do this
}
else
{
do that
}

how would you do this in C without adding the C++ digitalinput objects? could you cast the UINT32 GetDigitalInput() function results to boolean?

I don’t believe so, because C doesn’t have a bool data type. Traditionally boolean logic is done in C with integers with 0 for false and 1 for true. It’ll still work the same way. If you have


if(GetDigitalInput()){
    // something
}

it’ll work the same way as the C++ bool value.
