Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

How would you modify the assembly code to also send the state of Port A to another output port (let's say Port D) without changing other configurations?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how to seamlessly add instructions while maintaining the existing flow.

Question 2

Design a functionality where the LED on Port C should blink whenever a switch is toggled on Port B. How would that change your implementation?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider using loops and condition checks for this scenario.
