What does 1 and 0 in send(msg.set(value==HIGH ? 1 : 0)) really means?

[PL_Rekin]

Hi. This is a begginer question but I cannot find the answer, I use Mysensors for a while and I have some difficulties using PIN 0 and 1. In reed switches I use send(msg.set(value==HIGH ? 1 : 0)), and in SSR relays I use for example digitalWrite(RELAY_PIN_1, loadState(CHILD_ID_RELAY1)?RELAY_ON:RELAY_OFF); (where
#define RELAY_ON 1
#define RELAY_OFF 0
Please tell me if this is the problem that PIN 0 and 1 doesnt work?What to do to use this pins and maintain my recent PIN usage...?

@pl_rekin can you post some more of your code so it is a bit easier to see what you are trying to do.

[PL_Rekin]

Sure. Sorry

I send you modified code. I use relays, DHT sensors, reeds and motion sensors in one sketch (almast all pins are used).
In PIN 0 and 1 I use Reed Switches. Normally for Reed switches I want to use all pins in Arduino Mega from 0 to 21 (all pins work except 0 and 1 here...)

The code that you posted:
send(msg.set(value==HIGH ? 1 : 0))
Translates to this
If ”value” is HIGH (true) then send 1, if not send 0

It has nothing to do with PIN 0 or 1

The same goes for
digitalWrite(RELAY_PIN_1, loadState(CHILD_ID_RELAY1)?RELAY_ON:RELAY_OFF);
It translates to
On RELAY_PIN_1, if it’s state is 1 write HIGH to RELAY_PIN_1 else write LOW.

If you use serial in your sketch you can’t use PIN 0 or 1 as those pins are TX and RX.

@mickecarlsson Thanks. You explained that great I done some rework in my project and I am not using PIN 0 and 1 anymore.

@pl_rekin It's great when the 'penny drops' - Learning is not so bad when you can admit not knowing something and move on with enhanced knowledge!
