Here is a pretty good link about BCD & Packed BCD, might be helpful, you can mask upper or lower nibble and save into an array or just some variables, or convert to DEC and display as ASCII.

If you do not believe in MAGIC, Consider how currency has value simply by printing it, and is then traded for real assets.
.
Gold is the money of kings, silver is the money of gentlemen, barter is the money of peasants - but debt is the money of slaves

Re: Trouble Reading Binary or BCD from a GPS
Hi Archangel,
Many Thanks for the reply,
I am just trying to see how I could do that, how could I convert it it Dec?
If I use the Serin command to receive the data on serin2 portc.7, 84, [B0, B1, B2, B3, B4, B5]
I could then see the Dec Value if I use lcdout $FE,1,DEC B0, DEC B1, DEC B2 etc, etc, but how could I then convert it to ASCII?, could I save the DEC Value of B0 and then recall it to display the ASCII value?, if I could how would I be able to "save" the DEC value of B0?
