; INTERNAL POINTER:
; Internally, the last screen position is represented by 24 bits in two registers:
; POS_COARSE: Register Y (16-bit, r31 and r30): Coarse position. Points to one of the chunks
;    (character columns). 46 chunks per row, 304 rows. Used for character position, as
;    1 chunk = 1 byte = 1 character.

; Initializes and waits for a byte on PORTB
comm_init:
	call cursor_pos_home ; Set cursor to 0,0
    comm_wait_byte:
        in HIGH_ACCUM, DATA_PORT_IN   ; read PORTB
        ; Check continuously CLK until a LOW is found
        sbic PORTD, CLK_PIN
        jmp comm_wait_byte
        ; CLK triggered: Draw char
        call draw_char
        jmp comm_wait_byte

        ; ; CLK triggered: Copy PORTB to the next framebuffer byte
        ; st Y+, A
