Let pins= picaxe 20m2

[lamxe]

Dear All.
When I put this code :
Do
Let pins = %11111111
Wait 1
loop
on picaxe 20m , all port out at SIMULATION go high.
But with picaxe 20M2 not go high at all.
Please help me to know ; must be use other code? or is normal?
Thank you in advance.

use let pinsB = %11111111 instead. Note that on the 20M2 you need to first set all those pins as outputs by using let dirsB = %11111111 or individual 'output' commands if you prefer.

As some further explanation, the newer M2 and X2 parts allow most pins on the chip to be bi-directional.
By default, the pins are inputs except for a limited number of cases where a pin can only be an output.
Accordingly it is necessary to set the direction of the pins which you wish to use as an outputs.
The DIRS<port> = %xxxxxxxx ; where <port> is the corresponding port A,B,C,D as available on the respective PICAXE chips (See PICAXE manual 1 pages 9 to 11). For smaller chips the ports are typically &#8220;C&#8221; first available then B and C on mid sized chips. Only the 40 pin chips have all 4 ports available.
(See PICAXE manual 2 page 137)

Then to set the pins for a port high or low
PINS<port> = %xxxxxxxx. (See PICAXE manual 2 page 139)
