PIC Microcontoller Radix Math Method

Binary to ASCII, 16 bit to 5 digits with leading zero suppression and fixed decimal point

from Dontronics and Scott Edwards

Also: PIC Microcontoller Radix Math Methods 

; BIN_ASC 16-bit value
; This routine converts a 16-bit number into a counted string of
; ASCII characters compatible with Serout. It suppresses
; leading zeros so that numbers like 17 are sent as "17" not "00017".

buffer = 31 ; String buffer at end of memory.
ASC_0 = '0'     ; ASCII numbers: 30h thru 39h.
ASC_dp = '.'     ; ASCII char for decimal point (period).
fix = 3 ; Position for fixed decimal point.

 org 8
dec_no Res 1 ; Decade (1,10,100...) to work on.
tempH Res 1 ; 16-bit temporary variable used by
tempL Res 1 ; the BIN_ASC routine.
hiB Res 1 ; MSB of number to convert.
lowB Res 1 ; LSB of number to convert.
flags ds 1
zs = flags.0 ; Leading-zero suppression flag.

; This routine adds a decimal point in the location set by "fix" in the
; equates at the beginning of the program. The location of the decimal point
; is in front of the "fix"ed digit, numbered starting with 0. If you fix the
; point at 0, the first (0th) character in the string produced by BIN_ASC
; will be a decimal point. If you don't want a decimal point, either move
; it out of range (fix = 6), or delete this routine and the "call d_point"
; in the body of BIN_ASC above.
