Convert float number to PIC 4 byte hex
PostPosted: Mon Jan 20, 2003 4:18 pm     Reply with quote

I need some c source code to convert a real number(float) to CCS 4 byte hex. This will be done on a pc and then download 4 bytes in ascii hex (8 ascii characters) to a non pic microcontroller that will burn into serail eeprom just as if CCS had put a flaot variable there (4bytes). Then a PIC microcontroller will read those 4 bytes into a float variable location and use it as normal.
example
input 3.14159
output 80490FD0

just need the conversion routine (in C). thanks

thanks guys, I will try it out. (I needed the second example from Neutone). I'll let you know.

I tried the c example in apnote 575 from microchip it worked on some numbers but not others, any coments?

#include stdio.h
#include math.h
main(){

double m,e,s,x,f0,f1,f2;
unsigned long a,b,c,d ;

printf("Enter x: ");
while(scanf("\%lf",&x) == 1) {

if (x < 0){
x = -x;
s = 128; //negitive flag
}

e = (int)Log(x) / Log(2) ;
m = x / pow(2.,e) ;
m = m - 1 ;

m = m * pow(2.,7) + s ;
f0 = (int)m ;
m = (m - f0) * pow(2.,8) ;
f1 = (int)m ;
m = (m - f1) * pow(2.,8) ;
f2 = (int)m ;
e = e + 127 ;

a = e;
b = f0;
c = f1;
d = f2;

printf("\%X,\%X,\%X,\%X\n",a,b,c,d);

printf("\n");
printf("Enter A: ");
}
}

This is not exactly what you are looking for but in some of my old archives I have these notes. I am not sure if I tested these but here is how you can very easily convert from the IEEE to PIC floating point format. This is PIC assembly;

IEEE to PIC floating point conversion
RLF MSB ;move most significant bit to carry
RLF EXP ;put bit at top of EXP and get sign bit in carry
RRF MSB ;move sign bit into MSB


IEEE to PIC floating point conversion
RLF MSB ;move sign bit to carry
RRF EXP ;put sign at top of EXP and get most significant bit in carry
RRF MSB ;move most significant bit into MSB

If you change your concept and convert in the PIC after receive from the PC this would work.

If you want I can also provide tested and working functions done in Visual Basic.

Also keep in mind there are some differences in the byte ordering, little endian vs big endian, depending on how you transfer the bytes between the PC and the PIC.

Not 'C', but the following code does the conversion for me in Visual Basic, and has worked for all values that I have tried...
Visual basic doesn't have a union, or similar method of converting between bytes and the actual single, so most of the code is the use of the 'CopyMemory' function to transfer the value to an array of bytes, and then manipulate these, and convert back...

Function tovb(inval As Single) As Single
'Here I have a 'single' comprising four bytes, that are from the remote system
