Due: digitalRead of output pin always returns 0, should return pin state for compatibility with '328 version

[billroy]

This program prints '1' on a '328 and '0' on the Due; it should print '1' in both cases:

void setup() {
  pinMode(13,OUTPUT);
  digitalWrite(13, 1);
  Serial.begin(57600);
  Serial.print(digitalRead(13));
}
void loop() {}

Apparently the Due version of digitalRead() does not provide the same behavior as the '328 version where output pins are concerned. If true, this is a backwards compatibility behavior issue.

Please consider the large amount of existing code which depends on legacy behavior and the costs to your users of discovering and fixing these problems one-by-one in the field when prioritizing backwards compatibility and, especially, fixing backwards compatibility bugs.

Thanks guys,

Hi,
I've encountered the same problem Yesterday on an Arduino micro 5V, with latest IDE
I guess the problem isn't only for the Due board.

Thanks
