bit shifting

carbondudeoxide:
ok i have tried these and if the 8th bit (thats what i belive it is) if the upper most bit (left hand side when writing it) is 0 then it is ommitted but i need to send it as an 8 bit for the i2c i have running so i need it to have 8 bits and not emmit them. how can i ensure it can be used with all 8?

What?!? Maybe read that one back... :wink:
