MSP430 printing Decimal value

[ajit_nayak87]

Dear all

I have MSP430 Board as Development Board. I Have one variable While printing it is displayed as an ASCII value.

How can I convert 16-bit value to Decimal value while printing

The data I am passing is the Uint16_t data value from main. In debug mode, I could see properly in Hex format.

CCS support Terminal window presentation. which give in ASCII format.

i have 16bit value and Send UART in readble format i.e Decimal. How can I send using Below function.

void Serialwrite(unsigned char Byte)
{
     while(!(IFG2 & UCA0TXIFG)); // wait for TX buffer to be empty
    UCA0TXBUF = Byte;
}

/*** Function    : Serialread
**   Parameters  : None
**   Return      : unsigned char
**   Description : It will read single byte from uart
**/
unsigned char Serialread(void)
{
    while(!(IFG2 & UCA0RXIFG));
    IFG2 &= ~UCA0RXIFG;
    return UCA0RXBUF;
}

Hi,

a frequently asked question. Do an internet search, do a forum search.

in short: use "SPRINTF" or similar to form an ASCII sting from a 16 bit value.

BTW:
* I don´t see any 16 bit declared variable.

Or if you don't want all of the overheads that the 'printf' family of functions brings (for example you don't need run-time parsing of a format string as you always use the 1 format) then look at functions such as 'itoa()'. (Ultimately that or a similar function are what the 'printf' functions call to do the work anyway.)
