Rounding Word Values

This is perfect.... I get more out of these discussions then any one book I own.

Thanks Al

Chris

btw

The circuit I am working on is for measuring the amount of salt in my water softener brine tank and displays the level on a blank switch plate via 8 LED's (see attachment). The circuit uses a Parallax PING sensor, 16F87 for the slave and 16F876 for the master. communication is via RS-485.

If anyone is interested in the specifics, I would be more than happy to share details.

Again, thanks for all the help.

Chris, I made a mistake! Sometimes I forget that PBP is not VB and in this case I have use the power sign^ improperly since PBP is not able to do power (the sign is used for Bitwise Exclusive OR). So the code I have posted will not work! To overcome this limitation I have used a lookup table so the working code is as follow:

AA0  var Byte  ' new variable to add.
BB0  var byte  ' new variable to add

If Percent < 95 then
AA0 = (Percent / 10) - 1
LOOKUP2 AA0,[1,3,7,15,31,63,127,255],BB0
PortB = BB0
else
PORTB = %11111111
FreqOut bz, 250, 4000
pause 250
PORTB = %01111111
Low bz
pause 250
endif

As you can see the code didn't change much, just removed (2^AA0)-1 and added a new variable.

Al, I appreciate the correction. I understood what you where trying to do. I too am more familiar with VB than PBP.
This definitely simplifies the overall code.
Thank you very much.
