Hi,
I'm not experienced with the assembler for avr's but i'm doing my best to translate some code from asm to win-avr C.
What does this do?
subi r24,lo8(-2)
subi is a substract command and r24 should be decrement by lo8(-2)
What value gives lo8(-2)?
What does lo8 do? Isn't that the low 8 bit of an 16bit word like low()?
Please tell me what this line does, thanks
lo8() and hi8() are indeed macros (or probably more precisely, builtins) for the GNU assembler (that works with the GCC compiler) and IIRC, it's to get the low byte and hi byte of a 16-bit variable.

Constant, not variable.
Thank you all!

Oh, thanks glitch! :oops:
I program in C so I'm a little unsure of some things in the GNU assembler.
Just to set things clear (for me :wink: )
If -2 is the same as 0xFFFE (Word based)
Would it not be the same as
subi r24,0xFE
Witch is "addi r24,2"
/Bingo
indeed it is, in fact that's what the compiler changes it to. It's just easier to understand what subtracting -2 from an element does, instead of subtracting 0xFE.
