Hi All

I'm using an STM32L151 in my project.I have one GPIO configured as an input, and I need to change the direction dynamically. What is the most efficient way to do this ?Each time I want to change direction, should I:Call GPIO_Deinit()Re-populate the structure GPIO_InitStructure according to the new directionCall GPIO_Init()Is there a most efficient way to do ?ThanksJerome #gpio-port #stm32l #gpio #stm32

Don't use the ''library'' functions, write to GPIO registers (here: GPIOx_MODER, or the bit-band ''mirror'' of the respective bit(s)) directly.

My goal was to switch between driven high and high-Z, what worked for me was:

• init the GPIO as output and set to high

then

• GPIOA->MODER |= (0x0001<<2);

  // make OUTPUT

• GPIOA->MODER &= ~(0x0003<<2);

  // make INPUT
