Converting a number to ascii character

Archiver

I am using the Basic stamp 2 and I was wondering how I can convert a
number ie. 50 to Ascii 5 and 0.
I need to display a counter decreasing from 60 seconds down to 0 on
an LCD display

Thank you

Depends on the kind of LCD you have: parallel or serial. For a parallel
display, you have to do a bit of work:

char = (seconds DIG 1) + 48 : GOSUB LCD_Write
char = (seconds DIG 0) + 48 : GOSUB LCD_Write

The '+ 48' is what converts a single-digit value to its ASCII code. If you
have a serial LCD, you can user built-in formatting:

SEROUT pin, baud, [noparse][[/noparse]DEC2 seconds]

Thank you Jon.

I found the solution on one of the postings, this is what I did.

for Index = 2 to 0
char=(t1 dig iNDEX) + "0"
gosub lcdWr
next

Thank you
