show on LCD decimal numbers

[savnik]

It's possible to show on LCD decimal numbers;
value = SQR 10 ' give 3,16
i use this:
Lcdout $fe,1, DEC (value DIG 2), "." ,DEC (value DIG 1) ,DEC (value DIG 0)
but not show correct.

Let me guess....you're expecting 3.16 right?
Do a search in the PBP manual for floating point math and tell me what you come up with (hint: we've already been through this in January, see post #8 of the "16f877 with LM335 problem" thread ).

Hi savnik,

This is a very common problem.
A similar question is asked here.
Be sure to see Darrel's great explanation:

i have two variables:
x var word
y var word
and x < y.

How to show on lcd the result of x/y , or the value = SQR x/y

This has worked for me. Play with it.

RESULT	VAR	WORD

LCDOUT $FE,1,DEC RESULT/100,".",DEC2 RESULT//100

Note DEC2 and // after the dummy “.”

The DEC2 gives the last two digits and // gives the remainder or MOD of a number.

I use this to monitor battery voltage to the hundredths place.

Right...I understand that. I'm still trying to make you understand.
Again, I ask you to do a search in the PBP manual for floating point math and tell me what you come up with (same hint: we've already been through this in January, see post #8 of the "16f877 with LM335 problem" thread ).

I have read the manual for floating point very well and i have see post #8 of the "16f877 with LM335 problem" thread.
i use this:

                                        ' forwardpower  = 400 
                                        ' reflectedpower = 20
    B0 = forwardpower/reflectedpower    ' = 400/20 = 20    
    B1 = 10000/B0                       ' = 10000*1/20 = 500                    
    B2 = SQR B1                         ' = 22,360679    
    B3 = (10000+B2*100)/(100-B2)        ' = (10000+22*100)/(100-22) = 12200/78 = 156,4
    Lcdout $fe,$90, "SWR  : ",DEC (B3 DIG 2),".", DEC (B3 DIG 1),DEC (B3 DIG 0)
