Print a hex value in VGA

AGCB

It seems that none of the VGA objects have a print hex method. I've tried putting one in from PST and several others but get weird numbers. What is the correct way to print a hex in VGA? I want to print time from a RTC
Thanks

Use the hex method in the SimpleNumbers library object to convert the number to a hex string. Then print to VGA with the str method.

(IMO, putting methods like hex and dec in every I/O object is a redundant waste of memory.)

Hi Aaron,

You probably want the VGA_Text.spin object from the Propeller Tool library, or the equivalent display.vga.text.spin from https://github.com/parallaxinc/spin-standard-library, which both have hex methods.

Usage:

vga.hex (value, digits)

Cheers,
Jesse

Edit: Doh! Too late...
