Query output pin mode

Projects Programming

Hello everyone.

I am trying to query the status of an output pin.

in my setup:

pinMode(CENABLE, OUTPUT);

And in my loop:

if (CENABLE == HIGH){
                  lcd.print("ON ");           // Curtis On
                } else {
                  lcd.print("OFF ");           // Curtis Off
                }

However, this does not seem to be working the way I intended. Anyone know the proper syntax?

Thanks for the help.

if ( digitalRead( CENABLE ) == HIGH){

But, if it's an output pin, you should know whether you've set it HIGH or LOW.

But, if it's an output pin, you should know whether you've set it HIGH or LOW.

that is true, however it gets set up high or low in a several level deep if statement, so I thought it would be easiest and most fool proof to just read the condition of the output.

This worked famously! Thank you!
