sending a variable

[wiresalot]

Hello,

Im using an rc time program on my BS2 changing it with a POT. The value changes and shows numbers, The pink recieves it, But displays odd charcters and not the number i need it to be a number. How can I make it be a number only?

Code: Select all

nbvar           VAR     Byte            ' PINK Data Variable


' -----[ Program Code ]----------------------------------------------------



DO
 HIGH 10
 PAUSE 1
 RCTIME 10, 1, nbvar
 DEBUG HOME, "time= ", DEC5 nbvar

SEROUT TX, Baud, ["!NB0W20:", nbvar, CLS]
LOOP

Thanks

You'll need to convert your raw number stored in nbval to ascii text for display (http://www.manpagez.com/man/7/ascii/). In C you'd use printf, itoa, or stringstream. No idea what you got going with basic, but I'm sure there's an equivalent.

I figuered it out I had to add DEC5.

Code: Select all

nbvar           VAR     Byte            ' PINK Data Variable


' -----[ Program Code ]----------------------------------------------------



DO
HIGH 10
PAUSE 1
RCTIME 10, 1, nbvar
DEBUG HOME, "time= ", DEC5 nbvar

SEROUT TX, Baud, ["!NB0W20:", DEC5 nbvar, CLS]
LOOP

Thank you thomastaranowski
