+pinMode()
+=========

+
+Discussion
+----------
+
+pinMode() is usually called within :ref:`arduino-setup` in order to
+configure a pin for a certain usage (although it may be called from
+anywhere).
+
+
+Example
+-------
+
+ ::
+
+    
+    int ledPin = 13;                 // LED connected to digital pin 13
+    
+    void setup()
+    {
+      pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);      // sets the digital pin as output
+    }
+    
+    void loop()
+    {
+      digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);   // sets the LED on
+      delay(1000);                  // waits for a second
+      digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);    // sets the LED off
+      delay(1000);                  // waits for a second
+    }
+

+
+Arduino Compatibility Note
+--------------------------
+
+The libmaple implementation of pinMode() supports OUTPUT and INPUT
+modes with a meaning identical to that of the Arduino function.
+
+INPUT_ANALOG and PWM modes were added because the Maple does not
+distinguish between analog and digital pins the same way the Arduino
+does.  Unlike the Arduino, you **must call pinMode**\ () to set up a pin
+for these purposes before a call to, e.g., :ref:`arduino-analogRead`.
+In practice, this should only add a few lines of pinMode() calls to
+your :ref:`arduino-setup` function.
+
+OUTPUT_OPEN_DRAIN, INPUT_PULLUP, INPUT_PULLDOWN, and PWM_OPEN_DRAIN
+modes represent functionality not currently available on Arduino
+boards.
