    <p>I'm working with a PIC microprocessor, and I need to send values from an AD-Converter to a terminal (in this case HyperTerminal). Now, the terminal only understands ASCII. The value the AD-Converter gives a single byte (so ranging from 0 to 255). How can convert this binary number to ASCII?</p> <p>To be entirely clear, the byte is binary. So <code>0100 0000</code> should result in <code>64</code>. Ofcourse this would mean needing to send 2 ASCII numbers to the pc.</p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong> Apparently I'm not entirely clear here. I need to have the ASCII-code of the binary number in binary as well so I can send it through a USB-template provided by the chip-manufacturer.</p> <p><strong>Edit 2:</strong> After some more delving into other topics, <a href="https://electronics.stackexchange.com/a/65489/33807">this</a> answer led me to trying out <code>itoa()</code> and <code>utoa()</code>. Now, <code>itoa()</code> works, but unfortunately is for unsigned charachters. <code>utoa()</code> would be for unsigned chars, but that doesn't work. Here's an example of what should be able to happen:</p> <pre><code>char USB_In_Buffer[64]; char myValue = 0x55; itoa(myValue, USB_In_Buffer); putUSBUSART(USB_In_Buffer, 3); </code></pre> <p>So every ASCII character should be sent to <code>USB_In_Buffer</code>. Then the total of characters written to this buffer should be used as second parameter in <code>putUSBUSART()</code>. I only need to convert numbers to ASCII as well, so not the whole characterset needs to be implemented.</p> <p><strong>Edit 3:</strong> Because some automated functions do not appear to be supported, I thought it wouldn't be that hard to make my own function.</p> <pre><code>if(ADCONvalue/100 != 0){ res++; USB_In_Buffer[0] = (ADCONvalue / 100) + 0x30; } if(ADCONvalue/10 != 0){ res++; if(res == 1){ USB_In_Buffer[0] = (ADCONvalue / 10) + 0x30; }else{ USB_In_Buffer[1] = (ADCONvalue / 10) + 0x30; } } res++; if(res == 1){ USB_In_Buffer[0] = ADCONvalue % 10 + 0x30; }else if(res == 2){ USB_In_Buffer[1] = ADCONvalue % 10 + 0x30; }else{ USB_In_Buffer[2] = ADCONvalue % 10 + 0x30; } putUSBUSART(USB_In_Buffer, res); </code></pre> <p>But there seems to be an error somewhere. Small numbers do work (0-99), but for some reason when there should be <code>121</code>, it displays <code>1&lt;1</code>. For larger numbers, all the chars are non-numeric.</p> <p><strong>Edit 4:</strong> After rechecking my code I found the error. For one, <code>ADCONvalue</code> was a <code>char</code>, not an <code>unsigned char</code>. Also I forgot to do <code>%10</code> for the tenths. Current working code:</p> <pre><code>if(ADCONvalue/100 != 0){ res++; USB_In_Buffer[0] = (ADCONvalue / 100) + 0x30; } if(ADCONvalue/10 != 0){ res++; if(res == 1){ USB_In_Buffer[0] = (ADCONvalue / 10)%10 + 0x30; }else{ USB_In_Buffer[1] = (ADCONvalue / 10)%10 + 0x30; } } res++; if(res == 1){ USB_In_Buffer[0] = ADCONvalue % 10 + 0x30; }else if(res == 2){ USB_In_Buffer[1] = ADCONvalue % 10 + 0x30; }else{ USB_In_Buffer[2] = ADCONvalue % 10 + 0x30; } putUSBUSART(USB_In_Buffer, res); </code></pre>

    1. COJust so you know: HyperTerminal doesn't use ASCII; It uses the user-default code page (e.g., Windows-1252). Of course, any character set you are likely to use is a superset of ASCII with identical (8-bit) encodings for the shared characters.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
