Hello Experts <
I want a C program decimal to ASCII conversion (8051) .
or Binary to ASCII ?
thanks in advance >?
 

Code:
        int hundreds, tens, ones;
	unsigned char buffer[16];
	ones = adc_data%10;
	adc_data = adc_data/10;
	tens = adc_data%10;
	hundreds = adc_data/10;
//Now convert this into ASCII by ORing it with 0x30
ones = ones | 0x30;
tens = tens | 0x30;
hundreds = hundreds | 0x30;

This is a Small Sample Code which Converts the ADC Value in to the ASCII..

Hope u understand
 
temp = from adc

a[0] = temp/100;
temp = temp%100;
a[1] = temp/10;
a[2] = temp%10;
for(i=0;i<3; i++)
{
bcdNum = a;
t = 0x30 + BCDToDecimal(bcdNum);
writedat(t);
}

uint8 BCDToDecimal (uint8 bcdByte)
{
return (((bcdByte & 0xF0) >> 4) * 10) + (bcdByte & 0x0F);
}

here only displaying corresponding decimal value only not ascii please help me
 

I don't understand ur code...
What is this adc means its type ...

And you code contains library functions, what they do i don't know...
give me your variable and its value any guess that is contains
i will write a code to convert it into ascii..
 

i am trying to convert the binary data form adc 0804 to asci value to display
 

okay let me give you a simple way to so some thing...

Code:
#include<stdio.h>

//create a string variable 
unsigned char buffer[16];

sprintf(buffer,"%d",temp);
//This will convert the temp value to ASCII and these values are stored in buffer..
//don't forget to inculde stdio.h header file.

Hope this works

That site is very good just have a look on that...
and they are also using ADC0804 i think u will get some idea..

Hope this helps you..

temp = from adc

a[0] = temp/100;
temp = temp%100;
a[1] = temp/10;
a[2] = temp%10;
for(i=0;i<3; i++)
{
bcdNum = a;
t = 0x30 + BCDToDecimal(bcdNum);
writedat(t);
}

uint8 BCDToDecimal (uint8 bcdByte)
{
return (((bcdByte & 0xF0) >> 4) * 10) + (bcdByte & 0x0F);
}

here only displaying corresponding decimal value only not ascii please help me



I think that arunsharma0731 has already pointed out the solution. Supposing that the writedat() function works OK, then there is no need for the BCD to decimal convertion, the desired ASCII values are already there.

Code:
a[0] = temp/100;
temp = temp%100;
a[1] = temp/10;
a[2] = temp%10;
for(i=0;i<3; i++)
{
  t = 0x30 | a[i];  //it is better than addition (+)
  writedat(t);
}


Hope this solved it.
 
I think he is asking for the way to convert the ADC result to the actual measured voltage and then this voltage to the ascii representation in order to send it to LCD.
 
P2 = 0xff; // from adc 11111111

bcdNum = P2;

temp = BCDToDecimal(bcdNum);

a[0] = temp / 100;

temp = temp % 100;

a[1] = temp / 10;

a[2] = temp % 10;

for (i = 0; i < 3; i++) {

t = 0x30 | a[i]; //it is better than addition (+)

writedat(t);

}


When i put 0x00 to P2 from adc is ok dispalying zero ,
if the value is 13 then the display 13 no problem
when it comes hex values like (a,b,c,d,e,f) ie 0xa1,0xff etc .not showing actual value
i need to convert 0xff to display as 256
please help me thanks,

0xa1is decimal 161 so

Code:
a[0] = 161/100 = 1
a[1] = 161%100 = 61 , then 61/10 = 6
a[2] = 61%10 = 1

so 

a[0]=0x01
a[1]=0x06
a[2]=0x01

if you add 0x30 to these values then

a[0] | 0x30 =0x31 this is ascii character "1"
a[1] | 0x30 =0x36 this is ascii character "6"
a[2] | 0x30 =0x31 this is ascii character "1"

Why do you add the three array bytes into the variable t?
to show the three characters to the lcd you need to use the array and not the sum of the array bytes.
I have no idea what writedat is supposed to do but to show an array there is ususally a lcd_puts or something like that.

bcdNum = P2;

temp = BCDToDecimal(bcdNum);

a[0] = temp / 100;


Also get rid of the bcd to decimal convertion. Try this as a first step:

Code:
P2 = 0xff; // from adc 11111111 

temp = P2;

a[0] = temp / 100;

//.......................The rest of the code stays unchanged
 
great thanks
Edaboard really helping toooooo
 

The standard method provided by the C language to convert numbers to decimal formatted strings is sprintf() or itoa(). It would be my first choice for the discussed problem.
 

how can i find the functions like sprint() in header file ?
how much functions in each header files ?
how much stranded header files ?
But the working and logic can be learnt (me too low in that field)
 

sprintf is included in stdio.h,
you can check your compiler manual

itoa is in the stdlib.h

i am using keil ?
 

In my post(above)i have given you the code with sprintf function and in the above link it uses the header file stdio.h


But make sure that it will increase the code size...
