Bits not shifting

After much scratching of the head I connected the logic analyser and figured out what is happening but not what is wrong with this code.....

 for (byte a=0x10; a<0x12; a++)
    {
    byte d = 0x01;

    I2C_WRITE_BYTE(a, d);  // 1  register 0x10
//    delay(300);
    d<<1;
    I2C_WRITE_BYTE(a, d); // 2
//    delay(300);
    d<<1;
    I2C_WRITE_BYTE(a, d); // 4
//    delay(300);
    d<<1;
    I2C_WRITE_BYTE(a, d); // 8
//    delay(300);
    d<<1;
    I2C_WRITE_BYTE(a, d); // 16
//    delay(300);
    d<<1;
    I2C_WRITE_BYTE(a, d); // 32
//    delay(300);
    d<<1;
    I2C_WRITE_BYTE(a, d); // 64
//    delay(300);
    d<<1;
    I2C_WRITE_BYTE(a, d); // 128
//    delay(300);
    d = 0x00;
    I2C_WRITE_BYTE(a, d); // 00
//    delay(300);
    }

I think it's fairly obvious this code is supposed to write value d to address a, shift d one bit to the left and write the new value to a

However if I take monitor the i2c bus on my logic analyser it continually writes the initial vlaue of d (does not bit shift)

It looks OK to me and the C reference manual says the syntax d<<1; is correct so what is wrong?

(I had to comment out the delays to give my anayser a better chance to capture the data)

You have to reassign the value to the variable after shifting.

d = d << 1;

Damn it was as simple as that :blush:

thank you

Or simply

d <<= 1;

Are we shifting in the correct direction for the desired divide results?
