neither send 0 nor 1 as digital

pbrouwer:
Hmm, in digital devices something is either 0 (low/false) or 1 (high/true). It cannot be both, and it cannot be neither. However, if you don't want to output anything at all on a pin, set the pin as an input.

Set the pin as an input AND turn off the pullup resistor by setting the output to 0.
