DS1620 and below zero temperatures

Moskog

OK, so I have this simple program:

[code]CON _clkmode = xtal1 + pll16x
_xinfreq = 5_000_000


OBJ
debug : "VGA_Text"

VAR
long tc

PUB Main
Highbyte := %00000001
Lowbyte := %11001110 ' (-25

I suppose you're looking for something more elegant than an IF statement?

if tc < 0
   debug.tx("-")
   tc := || tc

Debug.dec(tc / 10)
Debug.str (string("."))
Debug.dec (tc // 10)
Debug.str (string(" °C"))

Well I really thought there was a more elegant way but that doesn't really matter. Strange that the Propeller DS1630-demos found seems to only handle the positive temperatures.

Why do you need to read positive temperatures? - in Norway the temperature surely is always well below zero :cool:

You are absolutely right, but thats why I need the minus sign to be there -and to be in the right place.
