Converting 32 bit Floating Point, and 48 and 64 bit Integer to string
I need to upgrade old project. It's quit complicated...
Now it need to display data received via serial port. There is few data format which need to be displayed.
Most critical is 32bit Floating Point. There is no need for any other calculation, except converting it to ASCII string.
I have about 30K of code space, for implementing 32 bit FP to ASCII converter, and 64bit Integer do ASCII.
Does any have any idea where to start?
One other thing that crossed my mind is to create small program that convert data from X ram location to ASCII and store it in ram on Y location in some other programming language that support FP.
Program should start at predefined address and use predefined ram. So I can put data at right place, call some address and then get ASCII string back...
If i could change data formats I would, but I can't. It's fixed...
I forgot to say for FP I need -###.### format, without leading zeros, and only - in front if negative. Maybe it helps that range is +/-100 for FP. And full range for signed and unsigned integers...
I really doesn't understand why is so much data formats used on same device.
Re: Converting 32 bit Floating Point, and 48 and 64 bit Integer to string
you have not really explained what format the serial data input takes . can you provide a few examples of input data verses desired result
Re: Converting 32 bit Floating Point, and 48 and 64 bit Integer to string
I can try to explain. I get 4 bytes for FP.
Eg:
For temperature 23.75, I get 4 bytes $41,$BE,$00,$00
24.375=$41,$c3,$00,$00
etc...
And that values matches with results from this calculator:

Thanks!
I just take short look at that, and that should be exactly what I need. I'll give it a try and report back. Thank again.

While writing first post, I was thinking that DT isn't around any more...
And here it is, his solution :)
Thanks
Re: Converting 32 bit Floating Point, and 48 and 64 bit Integer to string
I found this article
http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/cont...153-N-Bit_MATH
That should be enough, to display 64 bit integer.

I tested Darrels example with more numbers and something doesn't work...

Re: Converting 32 bit Floating Point, and 48 and 64 bit Integer to string
As far as I can see, there is some problem with Darrel subroutine.
To get correct number in microchip format I used this code:
Code:
aint = 2375
Gosub itofa ' Convert int to float
bint = 100
Gosub itofb ' Convert int to float
Gosub fpdiv
Result is: $833E0000
And I can display correctly with this code:
Code:
A_Float = $833E0000 ; with 1 decimal place
Bint = 10
GOSUB ItoFB
GOSUB fpmul
GOSUB FtoIA
HSEROUT2 [" ",SDEC Aint/10,".",DEC1 ABS(Aint),13,10]
A_Float = B ; with 2 decimal places
Bint = 100
GOSUB ItoFB
GOSUB fpmul
GOSUB FtoIA
HSEROUT2 [" ",SDEC Aint/100,".",DEC2 ABS(Aint),13,10]
A_Float = B ; with 3 decimal places
Bint = 1000
GOSUB ItoFB
GOSUB fpmul
GOSUB FtoIA
HSEROUT2 [" ",SDEC Aint/1000,".",DEC3 ABS(Aint),13,10,13,10]
Output is:
23.7
23.74
23.749
That is fine...
But when I try to convert $41BE0000 with Darrel's routine result is
IEEE = 41BE0000
Mchip= 82BE0000
Re: Converting 32 bit Floating Point, and 48 and 64 bit Integer to string
I think that I solved this...
From include file FP32.A18:
Code:
; 32 bit floating point representation
; EXPONENT 8 bit biased exponent
; It is important to note that the use of biased exponents produces
; a unique representation of a floating point 0, given by
; EXP = HIGHBYTE = MIDBYTE = LOWBYTE = 0x00, with 0 being
; the only number with EXP = 0.
; HIGHBYTE 8 bit most significant byte of fraction in sign-magnitude representation,
; with SIGN = MSB, implicit MSB = 1 and radix point to the right of MSB
; MIDBYTE 8 bit middle significant byte of sign-magnitude fraction
; LOWBYTE 8 bit least significant byte of sign-magnitude fraction
; EXPONENT HIGHBYTE MIDBYTE LOWBYTE
; xxxxxxxx S.xxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx
; |
; RADIX
; POINT
IeeFormat:
http://www.h-schmidt.net/FloatConverter/IEEE754.html
As you can see in IEE format, only 7 bit of exponent is in first byte, so bit 23 should be shifted to first bit of byte3, when shifting to right exponent.
Here is binary for 23.75:
Code:
IEE 41BE0000 = 01000001 10111110 00000000 00000000
MCHIP 833E0000 = 10000011 00111110 00000000 00000000
Darel 82BE0000 = 10000010 10111110 00000000 00000000
As you can see Darrel's code set sign instead of first bit of exponent.
Here is my code, done in PBP
Code:
MyIEEEtoMCHIP:
B.BYTE0=A.BYTE0
B.BYTE1=A.BYTE1
B.BYTE2=A.BYTE2 : B.23=A.31 'SIGN
B.BYTE3=A.BYTE3<<1 : B.24=A.23
RETURN
A-IEEE
B-Microchip
I'll try to fix Darrel's macro.
Re: Converting 32 bit Floating Point, and 48 and 64 bit Integer to string
I fixed bug in Darrel's macro:
Code:
ASM
IEEEtoMCHIP?NN macro Nin, Nout
MOVE?BB Nin, Nout
MOVE?BB Nin+1, Nout+1
MOVE?BB Nin+2, Nout+2
;MOVE?TT Nin+3,7, Nin+2,7 ;<<<<<<<<here he is setting bit in input byte, not output byte
MOVE?TT Nin+3,7, Nout+2,7 ;<<<<<<<<Corrected
MOVE?BA Nin+3
RLNCF WREG,W
MOVE?AB Nout+3
MOVE?TT Nin+2,7, Nout+3,0
