ADC decimal Digit problem
Posted: Sun May 03, 2009 3:13 pm

Hi all I have a problem with adc I want to display a float number consists of 3 decimal digits at least, i tried to use the following: set_adc_channel( 0 ) delay_us(10); x=read_adc(); y=x/100; printf("X=%u Y=%1.3f \r\n",x,y); But i still get 1.000 or 2.000 only without decimal digits _________________ Eng.

You are doing integer math. If you divide one integer (x) by another
integer (100), the result is an integer.

If you want a floating point result, you must make one of the numbers
in the divison expression into a float. Example:

Quote:

y=x/100.0;

You didn't show any of your variable declarations. 'y' should be declared
as a 'float'. 'x' should be declared as an 'int16' if you are using the A/D
in 10-bit mode. Also, if 'x' is an 'int16', then you should use "%lu" to
display it in printf.
