Multi-digit word variable to string

[richard]

Now i'm trying to figure out how to add the remainder in the command.

i hope this is not a medical diagnostic device
your temperature calculation is not accurate and the remainder calculation is mathematically incorrect

temperature  = tempir/50         ' based on the manual we need to divide by 50 or 0.02
temperature  = temperature - 273 ' subtract 273 for Degree in C,actually is 273,15

yields the temp in deg C to about 1 deg of resolution with an error of +- 1 degree

remainder    = (tempir*2)//100   ' multiply x 2 and get the remainder //100

calculated the 100 modulus of the temp in deg kelvin

adding them together is nonsense , trying to display a two decimal point result is from any of these results is just not right

wtf tempir = (temp.highbyte << 8) + temp.lowbyte ;just Nooooo! its the hardest most convoluted way i have ever encountered to go 
tempir = temp which serves no purpose anyway




don't like this either, it pisses away too much resolution hence its not particularly accurate 
temperature  = tempir/50         ' based on the manual we need to divide by 50 or 0.02
temperature  = temperature - 273 ' subtract 273 for Degree in C,actually is 273,15
remainder    = (tempir*2)//100   ' multiply x 2 and get the remainder //100


;this is good  although it could be even more accurate [temperature  = temp*2  - 27315 ; temp x 2 - 273.15*100 ] >==>temperature*100] if the raw value won't exceed 32768 


temperature  = (temp  - 13657)<<1  ; (temp-[273.15*50]) x 2   <==> temperature*100; is good




i make the assumption temperature * 100 is the value required by the slider display


tempir and remainder are not needed

display like this

'------------------------------------------------------------------------------*'                    IR  Display 1 the parameters                              *

gosub checksum2

return


'------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

'------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
checksum2:
IRCS = 0
IRCS = $01 ^ $0F ^ $00 ^ temperature.highbyte ^ temperature.lowbyte 
return

then lets have a look at the i2c stuff , its not right either really


ps if negative temps are possible then additional code req
