For...Next loop Steps DEC questions

[skimask]

Try this:

Y var word
Value var byte

FOR Value = 0 to 255
    Y = ( Value * 51 ) / 26   'divided down from * 255 / 130
    LCDOUT 254,row1+1,"BATTERY:",DEC1 ( Y / 100 ),".",DEC2 ( Y // 100 )," VDC"
    pause 100
Next Value

SkiMask,

Working great now....I realized that I had
Y VAR BYTE instead of Y VAR WORD which caused my math to be all funky...
I have also never used the // modulus math command either, I think I understand how that works now, I will play with 4 sig figs now to see If I get the rest all worked out.

thanks a million!

If you've got PBP 2.50, you can use LONGs and get quite a bit of resolution...of course that'll be limited to your ADC also. 4 sig figs are easily doable with a 10-bit ADC...which obviously the PICs usually have.
