hexadecimal & MMC

Javalin

Hi,

Trying to use the Javalin to replace a BS2.· I am having issues with controling the Motor Mind C (MMC).

Does anybody know what the Java replacements for the PBASIC conversion functions like DEC, HEX, etc are?

I need to use these to convert and send a decimal number as a hexidecimal string via RS232/TTL serial link

Thanks!

Hi,

Get application note AN012 from here

http://www.parallax.com/javelin/applications.asp



The format class offers 3 methods to print integer values with base

2, 8, 10 or 16.

printf() prints to system.out

sprintf() prints to character array

bprintf() appends to a character array.

To print an integer value as hex use

int value = 12; //example value

char[noparse]/noparse hexbuf = new char[noparse][[/noparse]5]; //to hold hex string

hexbuf[noparse][[/noparse]5]=0; //make hexbuf an asciiz string (optional)

Format.sprintf(hexbuf,"%04x",value); //hexbuf holds '0','0','0','C',0

for (int i=0; i<4; i++) txUart.sendByte(hexbuf[noparse][[/noparse]i]); //transmit hexvalue

Read the application text how to use format specifiers.

There are specifiers for binary,oxtal,decimal,hexadecimal and unsigned.
