Passing string as parameter and calculating parity bit
PostPosted: Sat Mar 29, 2008 3:48 pm     Reply with quote

Hi.

I have a function to write some texts to my car's display. In this function, i need to receive a text (by parameter) and send char by char using i2c (+somethings).

My problem is: how can i pass a string by parameter?

Also, is there any easy way to calculate parity bit? I need to receive a string, get 10 chars from this string (is less, add a blank char) and send these 10 chars to my display using i2c_write() function.....but not only char, it's char + parity bit...so it's 9 bits.
Now, i'm using a global variable for string and then i call EscreveDisplay(), which scans the global variable and send char-by-char. The chars are pre-calculated by me (i have a chars table in switch).

This is how i call the function:

Code:

sprintf(e,"Test string");
EscreveDisplay();

where 'e' is a global variable (char[20] e="").

This is the function:


Code:

void EscreveDisplay(){
   long i=0,t=0;
   int bitcount=0;

   #ifndef DEBUG
      Initi2c();
   #endif

   MRQ = 0;
   delay_ms(1);
   MRQ = 1;
   delay_us(200);

   #ifndef DEBUG
      Starti2c();
      i2c_write(0x9b);     // Endereço do display
   #endif

   MRQ = 0;
   delay_us(250);

   #ifndef DEBUG
   // Display symbols
   
   // Faz a contagem de bits=1 para calcular a paridade
   for (i=1;i<7;i++) {
      if (bit_test(b1,i)) {
         bitcount++;
      }
   }
   // Se o numero de bits for impar, o bit de paridade é 0
   // Caso contrario, é 1
   if (EvenOrOdd(bitcount)) {
      bit_clear(b1,0);
   } else {
      bit_set(b1,0);
   }
   
   delay_ms(1);
//   i2c_write(0x01);
   i2c_write(b1);
   delay_ms(1);
   i2c_write(0x01);
   delay_ms(1);
   i2c_write(0x01);
   delay_ms(1);
   #endif

   t = strlen(e);
   #ifdef DEBUG
      printf("Tamanho da string: %u\n\r",strlen(e));
   #endif

   for (i=0;i<t;i++) {

    if (i<10) {

     if (e[i]==NULL) {
        #ifdef DEBUG
          printf(" Achei nulo\n\r");
        #endif
        e[i]=" ";
     }

      #ifdef DEBUG
         printf("  Escrevendo caracter %c\n\r",e[i]);
      #endif

         #ifndef DEBUG
         switch( e[i] ) {

   MRQ = 1; // MRQ = 1 // (Entrada?)
   delay_us(200);

   #ifndef DEBUG
//      Stopi2c();
   #endif

   #ifdef DEBUG
      printf("Fim da escrita no display!\n\r");
   #endif

   return;

}


If is possible, i like to just call: EscreveDisplay("My text");

Thanks!
