Hello All,

Please i need your help to do the following.

need to add a number xxx.x with a number 0< n< 1 ( which will be calculated previously) and display the result on the LCD.

I need to write it using PICBASIC

i think my problem is with floating i m not getting correct result,
can anyone help me ?

Thanks in advance

From what I gathered, perhaps this is what your looking for?

Written with **broken link removed**


Code: 
Device = 16F628A

Dim Variable1 As Float
Dim Variable2 As Float

Low PORTB.0

While 1 = 1
    Variable1 = Variable1 - 0.050
    EWrite 0, [Variable1]
    
    Variable2 = ERead 0 
    
    RSOut Dec Variable2, 13

    DelayMS 1000
Wend

Keep in mind that each float will require 4 bytes of memory, and they are not the best solution by any means for most applications

Thanks a lot Gramo, but still need your help if possible.

need to modify your program to do the following.

I have a number n1n2n3.n4 saved on the internal ROM of the PIC

I need to read it and add it to a number which must be between 0and 1
let me call it x . this number will be entered to the pic. in my first trial i can assume that it s a fix number let s take it 0.2

and then the final summation n1n2n3.n4 + x will be saved on the ROm on the same location of the previous n1n2n3.n4 and displayed on the LCD

my main problem is how to store the n1n2n3.n4 , i must store each digit alone? n1 on one address n2 on another and so on ....?


PLease i need your help.
 
also i m confused , i know this is a stupid question! but i want to be sure

n1n2n3.n4 is a decimal number

this number can be defined as float?

i don't know what is float exactly !!!
byte = 4 bit ex 0000
word = 16 bit = 2 bytes ex 0000 0000
long word = 32 bits = 4 bytes ex 0000 0000 0000 0000


please correct my information!
thanks
 
Here's a common list of variable types for most micro controller compilers (this list is from Swordfish);

If you declare a number as a float, it can be used as a normal number with 3 decimal place accuracy. Keep in mind that floats take a lot of code overhead to really make them a viable option in most applications.

What is the maximum and minimum possible values that will be stored in the float? Perhaps I can show you much faster way to go about things.

thanks again.
well maximum number will be 199.99

Well if you scale it (x100) the maximum value will only be 19999, so it will fit in a word variable, be a LOT faster, and be 100% accurate (floats aren't always accurate).
 
i need to show the decimal value, how can this be done
and i want always to get the result of this form

xxx.xx

pls i need your help

Like I said, scale it, do it as an integer (faster, smaller, more accurate), simply put the decimal point back in place when you display it.
 
can u help me writing the code in picbasic pro?
i m a newbie in this language and need some help.

thanks in advance

Sorry, I don't use BASIC, but what EXACTLY are you trying to do?.
 
well i need to perform an addition between a number of the form xxx.xx (saved on the internal eprom )and a number which will be entered to the pic (between 0 and 1 )
the result of the operation will be displayed on the LCD + saved on the eprom of the form xxx.xx

i must write it using picbasic pro cz i have other part to add to it and assembly will take me lot of time to do...
 
Have you seen the more than comprehensive help file with the compiler? I really suggest that you start with the basics of integer math, see how things "click" and then use the same analogy to use scale integer math as a replacement too using floats
