PIC Microcontoller Radix Math Method

Binary to ASCII, 8 bit to 3 digits

a.borowskiTakeThisOuT at STOPspamstudent.qut.edu.au shares this code:

Here's a nice bit of code that turns a 8 bit binary number into it's hundreds, tens and ones in ASCII, suitable for displaying. Simply put your number in 'bin', call BIN2BCD, then use huns, tens and ones for display.

• Short, but very nice and useful. Thanks.

  Just what I was looking for. As a hardware engineer trying my hand at using PICS, I've found there are an awful lot of things to learn!
  
  Thanks very much.
