binary to decimal conversion
PostPosted: Sun Mar 21, 2010 2:36 pm     Reply with quote
I want to show on an LCD a number resulting from an A/D conversion or from several operations.
The result of A/D conversion is 10 bits long, coming from a PIC16F876 A/D converter.
The operations give me a 16 bits number.
I need to converts these binary numbers in decimal to send to LCD.

How can I convert a binary number to a decimal one ?

Here is a demo program that shows how to display the decimal ADC
result on an LCD. The ADC value will go from 0 to 1023 as you turn
the trimpot knob.
Code:

#include <16F877.H>
#device adc=10
#fuses XT, NOWDT, NOPROTECT, BROWNOUT, PUT, NOLVP
#use delay(clock=4000000)

#include "flex_lcd.c"

//============================
void main()
{
int16 adc_value;
 
lcd_init();

setup_adc_ports(AN0);
setup_adc(ADC_CLOCK_DIV_8);
set_adc_channel(0);
delay_us(20);

while(1)
  {
   adc_value = read_adc();
   printf(lcd_putc, "\f%4lu", adc_value);
   delay_ms(500);
  }
}

Thank you very much.
I used it and it works.
I tried to modify it to obtain the voltage too. For this I need to multiply "adc_value" by 5 and divide the result by 1023 and show the result using comma (or point) as decimal separator. But I get only one number (1 to 4). Probably because "int16 adc_value" ?

Can you explain me how I can do it ?

Where can I find manual to learn how to use C language in CCS ?

This post shows how to convert the ADC value to volts and display it:
