Does anyone know where I can find an inttoascii or hextoascii function?

sprintf

For your requirements:

char output[5];

sprintf(output,"\%D",value_to_convert);

Will put into the string 'output', the ASCII equivalent of the number in 'value_to_convert'. Using '\%ld', instead of '\%D', will allow a long integer to be sent. With this the output could be seven digits 'wide' ('-' sign, 5 digits, and the terminating '\0'), so the array would need to be larger.

Depending on what you are doing, converting individual numbers is easy. This would be the building block for whatever you want to do.

If a decimal digit simply add 48 to make it the ascii equivalent.

For hex:
If <=9 then add 0x30, else add 0x37.

I created a function that I call with the digit to convert and it returns a char. I also pass a boolean flag "hex" to tell whether to convert hex or decimal. Once created, the routine works everywhere and you can paste it into any code.

Example protoype:
char convert(byte digit, boolean hex)

Good Luck!

Dave
