Communication between LabView and CCS.
PostPosted: Fri Aug 12, 2016 9:42 am     Reply with quote

Hey guys, I am trying to get a floating point number from labview to calculate power. However, my program in labview only accepts chars and strings. Here is my code in CCS so far:
Code:

void main()
{
   float V, P;
   
   while(TRUE)
   {
      delay_ms(1000);
      V = 25;
      char res[50];
      float P = (V * V)/(getc());
      ftoa(P, res, 1)
      puts(res);
   }
}

If I enter, for example, } for the resistor value I get the correct answer. But if I were to put 125 instead then I do not get the correct answer. Can anyone help me on this? Thanks!

Basic C. Get a textbook!...

You need to read a sequence of characters, decode these to a number, and then do the maths.

gets, rather than getc, and then look at atof and it's other derivatives.
