Hi,

I am allready using the serial port. I am creating a device in a palm V
modem housing. I use the serial port for serial data. I intend to use the D0
(out) pin to switch my device on. D0 goes to 6v when the serial port is
opened, which is ideal for me as that is when I want my device switched on.
However I also want an I/P pin. All the pins are documented, but how to use
them seems to be another matter.
 I see that pin 8 has an ADC, which would be nice to use, else I just want a
digital input. I need this so that my device can inform me when its
batteries are low (device is a simple non micro based device). Therefore I
can have a circuit that asserts/deasserst a pin when the batteries reach a
specific level, or monitor the voltage via the ADC. Either way Im happy. Can
anyone help ???

Thanks

Rik Anderson
