Hi Michael,

witch bits is now what?

My understanding is that the MSB is "FrontLeftDoor" and the LSB is "CarON".

My fault, I should have added a remark.

The original bit values are documented in the "OVMS Protocol" document (environment message).

"OVMS Development" adds: PIC18F is little endian, i.e. [...] Bit fields are packed right to left

So, it's LSB first, 0x01 .. 0x80.

I think it is better to use the bits direct. Like this: car_doors1bits.ChargePort = 1

"Better" will be dependant on your concrete needs. I like to be able to access single bits like this due to better readability.

But if you need to set or query a larger group of bits, the combined byte value will be more readable and perform better.

Regards,
Michael
