Kyle,

I am using the CCs compiler and to output text onto the LCD I use the putc() function and set up string arrays of the text I want to output. So would I be right in saying that printf is an easier way than putc()?

Going back to my original question, if for example I had a value of 200 stored in a variable called NUMBER and I wanted to output the value stored in number onto the LCD screen could I simply just do:

printf("value in memory is %02x",NUMBER);

the 2 denotes the width of the field and %x denotes to an unsigned hex integer.

Regards,
Dean Matthews

Depending on your C compiler, you should have some form of sprintf or printf
to format numbers to a string.  I know that this is easy to do with CCS
using a target function.

I am currently reading in an analogue value and converting it to digital
using a PIC16F877 written in C.  I display the digital value (stored in
value=Read_adc()) on 10 leds to confirm that my a/d converter is working
correctly.

I am also able to output information and text onto an LCD screen.  What I
would ideally like to do is display the a/d conversion stored in value on
the LCD screen.  Can anyone recommend a quick and easy way to do this.
