Is there an inbuilt function that converts ADC's output values to decimal values(in C ) for display purpose. 

Oh yes, there are.

#include <stdio.h>

and use the sprintf, csprintf functions. The latter is used when the format is a string constant (as usual).

Works correctly for floats with Designer 5.2

Bob

  thank  you Bob

Try this

#include <stdio.h>
char Buffer[17];  // 16 chars for LCD-Line + /0 character
void main(void)
csprintf(Buffer,"%s = %d","Test",32767);  // Buffer has now the string "Test = 32767"

LCD_PrString(Buffer);

You are totally free in specifying the format, have a look (http://publications.gbdirect.co.uk/c_book/chapter9/formatted_io.html) at the specs. You can convert (and print) Floats, longs ints and chars.

hi bob,

               i am faced with a similar problem, how to convert a floating point value to a string. my basic requirement is to send a float value to the hyperterminal display through UART. i am using PSoC designer 5.1 . when i use the sprintf function as shown below. the compiler shows out an error saying it expects pointer to flash char but found pointer to char.

sprintf(Buffer,"%s = %d","Test",32767);

The format is a const string, so you have to use

csprintf(Buffer,"%s =%d","Test",32767)

Bob

hi bob,

       i tested my program with the function

csprintf(Buffer,"%s = %d","Test",32767);

actually the function is written inside an infinite while loop along with many other functions. what i observe is whenever this function is not active(commented out) the while loop works. but as soon as the function is made active and included the while loop terminates after a single run. i don't know what could have gone  wrong.

Is the size of the buffer greater 12?

Bob

And for the floats have a look here http://www.cypress.com/?app=forum&id=1573&rID=43329 .

Probably you have to declare an integer and assign 32767 to it, maybe it is interpreted as a 32-bit number which will not be properly handled by sprintf.

Compilers handle printf()/sprintf() differently, eg. feature set, from one compiler

to another. Typically if printf() handles longs and floats, so does sprintf(). You can

look at .h, .inc files for the definitions typically to confirm, or consult compiler

manufacturer.

If you know the size of your final string beforehand, it is better to declare the string buffer as

char Buffer[13]  rather than  char * Buffer[];

Here, the value is 13 assuming you have 12 characters ("Test = 32767") + 1 NULL terminator.

You can then use UART_PutString(Buffer) which sends the NULL terminated string out the TX.
