Project 2 - What is the best way to send integers to LCD?

[obsoletepower]

Hey everybody,

I got Project 2 to work and it works great for sending strings to the LCD but obviously not for regular integers so I am wondering what the best way to approach this is. Would I convert the int to ASCII and send that using the lcd_putchar function or is there a better way? I am using HI-TECH 9.80 with a PIC18F4620 MCU. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I think you can check some of example code from Cytron tutorial, or DIY project.

Check those that have LCD displaying number, I cannot remember which, maybe check out the tutorial for SK40C

I use this code

CODE: SELECT_ALL_CODE

void lcd_number(unsigned int no, char base, char digit)
{char i,j,di[10];
for(i=0;i<=9;i++) di[i]=0;
i=0;
do{
   di[i]=no%base;
   no=no/base;
   i=i+1;}
while(no!=0);
for(j=digit;j>0;j--){
   if(di[j-1]<=9) lcd_write(di[j-1]+'0');
   else lcd_write(di[j-1]-10+'A');}
}
