I'll answer your question, if you answer one of mine! My question is:
why do people post to usenet through web sites like
embeddedrelated.com and dsprelated.com instead of using a newsreader
and posting directly?

In any case, the Atmel ARM microcontrollers contain hardware in the
PIO and UPIO interfaces themselves that does this in hardware.

Each peripheral register has corresponding "_SODR" and "_CODR"
registers. To turn one or more output bits, write a word with the
corresponding bits turned on, and the other bits turned off, to the
"SODR" (Set Output Data Register). To turn off one or more bits,
write a word with the corresponding bits turned on, and the other bits
turned off, to the corresponding "CODR" (Clear Output Data Register).

When you write to either of these registers, where you write a 1 bit
the corresponding output pin is set to 1 or cleared to 0, if it is
programmed as an output. Any bits that are 0 in the word you write do
not change the level of the corresponding output pin.
