Timer and hex conversion problem
Archiver
Posts: 46,084
I'm receiving time data from the Basic Pocket Watch B module, as directed in
the easy to follow instructions. I receive data quite well. I am using a
BS2.
However, I need convert the time, which is received in hex format, to
decimal.
I read the manual, lots of info, but none that I can say directly relates to
my problem.
I tried adding a dec statement to the serin statement, and the serin threw
up an error flag.
I tried converting the hex to decimal using algebraic type equasions. No
luck.
Anyone tried this before?

Hex to decimal conversion follows the pattern...
hour = $13 ' 1 pm hex (BCD)
debug hex2 hour,CR
hour = hour.nib1*10 + hour.nib0 ' 1 pm decimal
debug dec2 hour,CR
