SHIFTOUT syntax not understood - can't send any variables contents, while text is ok

[HenrikOlsson]

SHIFTOUT sends the content of the variable in "binary" format, not as ASCII text - which I believe is what the display is expecting. It's like sending a variable using HSEROUT where you use the DEC-modifer to send the content of a variable as text instead of as a "raw number".

Unfortunately SHIFTOUT does not (AFAIK) support any modifiers (DEC, HEX etc) so you need to do it manually. This compile but I can not test it.

temp = CNT_A / 1000
GOSUB SendIt

CNT_A = CNT_A - (temp * 1000)
temp = CNT_A / 100
GOSUB SendIt

CNT_A = CNT_A - (temp * 100)
temp = CNT_A / 10
GOSUB SendIt

temp = CNT_A - (temp * 10)
GOSUB SendIt

END

SendIt:
  SHIFTOUT SDO, SCK, MODE, [temp + 48]
RETURN

Thanks a lot Henrik.

Your code works effectively

I'm not used to use the SHIFTOUT command so I got to learn how it works.

Thank you.
