Hey,
I'm trying to simulate a temperature sensor connected to a PC via RS232 protocol controlled with a PIC18f2550 microcontroller.
The program is supposed to do the simple task of reading an analog value(the temperature) and display it on a virtual terminal when I press a button.
I wrote the following code:
And the header.h:
This is the schematic:
I have the following problem: The temperature is displayed as a binary value not as a decimal one. For temperature range: 1-100 it displays 0 and for temperature 100-150 it displays 1 on the virtual terminal. Please help me correct this issue. Thank you.
Also: I would like to delete one character from the terminal's screen. In my case the temperature value(not clear the entire screen just delete something as if I would do with backspace on a keyboard). Is that possible? Is there such a command?
Thank you for reading.
