    GPIOs are usually controlled by a single bit of a register anyway. Most likely you need to do something like:

    // Set high
    PORTB |= 1 << PINB5;
    // Set low
    PORTB &= ~(1 << PINB5);

      I am a lazy dev (not really, clients always want fast code), so I use the provided HAL libraries 99.9% of the time.

      But I have seen code where someone would write something like

      gpio_write(PIN_X, true) 
      

      and it always stood out to me.

        Define on as true or something? Or maybe that’s more confusing. I’m not a C dev so I’m not gonna pretend to understand idiomatic microcontroller code lol.

          Sometimes, people do that. But using 0/1 is explicit enough since you can refer to a line as ‘1’ or ‘0’ for high/low on the hardware as well
