gethex()
PostPosted: Sun Feb 05, 2012 12:22 pm     Reply with quote

Hi I'm a new in a CCS programming. I met the function gethex() in one code, but I can't figure out what is that mean. The code is from the Examples folder of CCS program directory.
Here is the code:
Code:

void main() {

   unsigned int8 i, j, address;
   INTEE value;

   do {
      printf("\r\n\nEEPROM:\r\n");              // Display contents of the first 64
      for(i=0; i<=3; ++i) {                     // bytes of the data EEPROM in hex
         for(j=0; j<=15; ++j) {
            printf( "%2x ", read_eeprom( i*16+j ) );
         }
         printf("\n\r");
      }
      printf("\r\nLocation to change: ");
      address = gethex();
      printf("\r\nNew value: ");
      value = gethex();   // Rikotech8: My attention point!

      write_eeprom( address, value );

   } while (TRUE);
}

Excuse my poor english!
thx in advance.

gethex() allows you to enter a byte of data in hex format instead of decimal (00 to FF instead of 0 to 255).
Very handy for loading in long data streams, especially from an 'outside ' source (like a file on a PC). Quicker if inputting by a keypad, 1 less keypress (2 instead of 2).
