I wish to display the contents of a variable, probably an unsigned integer, on an lcd display driven from the 8051. I have written software to accept an array of characters and write these, so the ideal would be to creat a similat array from the variable. I have tried the basic ways I know of, sprintf (char_array, "%d", integer_value); (very low tech) but dosent work. Any pointers would be greatfully recieved, Thank you, Tim
If you are interested in a faster radix conversion, see here: http://www.programmersheaven.com/zone5/cat27/32144.htm A general purpose radix conversion function is provided as a specific example. The algorithm used is successive division of the value by the radix - same as algorithm posted by Dan. However, this implementation should prove to be much faster than using just C.
