I have a very simple test sketch in which I\'m trying to set a pin to HIGH and then read its state with digitalRead. Here is my sketch.

Why do you want to do that? If you are doing this to validate that the pin is really high, this will not confirm it to you, because maybe there is a short circuit on the high pin from the external circuit, the best way is to create a feedback through another pin; configure another pin as input, and connect the output pin to the new input pin, and read its value. Reading the internal register will always return for you what the controller is trying to put on the pin, not the actual pin value.
