Hi everybody

How to convert TimStr and MiniSter and SecStr to Float format?
Have tried but not succeed!
I want to convert String to Float, must use Float format!
Must use HOUR FP and MIN FP and Sec FP... FLOAT format

Do you have a suggestion?
HOUR_FP = StringToFloat$ (TimeStr)
MIN_FP = StringToFloat$ (MinStr)
Sec_FP = StringToFloat$ (SecStr)

If you have a proposal then I will be very happy;-)

Hi Monie,

Looks like you need to call the PrintString command instead of the PrintASCII command which will simply print out a single character.

The StringToFloat$ function can be used to specify the number of decimal points, for example if you want 2 "0.00".

HOUR_FP = StringToFloat$ (TimeStr, 2)
MIN_FP = StringToFloat$ (MinStr, 2)
Sec_FP = StringToFloat$ (SecStr, 2)

Hope this helps.

Hi Benj

Have tried with the error message, the picture below!

Do you have a suggestion.
Or can you see where is going wrong?
Or is my fault

Hi Monie,

Sorry the extra optional parameter is used for FloatToString$ not StringToFloat$, sorry for the confusion.

You maybe need to use an additional string variable, e.g. called TempStr and then load the string data bytes from the TimeStr into the TempStr.

Code: Select all

TempStr[0] = TimeStr[0]
TempStr[1] = TimeStr[1]
TempStr[2] = 0
HOUR_FP = StringToFloat$ (TempStr)

TempStr[0] = TimeStr[2]
TempStr[1] = TimeStr[3]
TempStr[2] = 0
MIN_FP = StringToFloat$ (TempStr)

TempStr[0] = TimeStr[4]
TempStr[1] = TimeStr[5]
TempStr[2] = 0
Sec_FP = StringToFloat$ (TempStr)

Hi Benj
Thank you very much for your proposal.
Very nice suggestion it just worked ..

But of course there is a problem more ..
The first LOOP / Calculates Time, Minute and Second - very fine

But the next LOOP calculates Elevation and Azimuth.
The problem here is that only by resetting is the value of Elevation and Azimuth updated.

The value of Elevation and Azimuth will not be updated.
Do you have a suggestion for updating Elevation and Azimuth?

Hi everybody
Does anyone here have a suggestion for the last question "The value of Elevation and Azimuth will not be updated."

Posted: **Fri Feb 22, 2019 11:54 am**

Hi Monie,

Are your loops in Main correct? You seem to loop to do the keypad and then loop forever after that. So I imagine you need to reset the program to get back to the keypad entry.

Posted: **Fri Feb 22, 2019 12:05 pm**

Hi Benj
Yes, that's right you describe.
Yes, I need to reset the program to get one updated Elevation and Azimuth...
I do not get any updates, do it manually.

Hi Monie,

This line might be a problem.

Code: Select all

HOUR_FP = HOUR_FP + fdiv (MIN_FP,60) + fdiv (SEC_FP,3600)

Try instead this, e.g. ".0" after integer constant numbers when used in Float calculations.

Code: Select all

HOUR_FP = HOUR_FP + fdiv (MIN_FP, 60.0) + fdiv (SEC_FP, 3600.0)

Also these two lines.

Code: Select all

delta_FP = fadd (delta_FP,fdiv (HOUR_FP,24))
time = fsub (delta_FP,51545)

Would become.

Code: Select all

delta_FP = fadd (delta_FP,fdiv (HOUR_FP, 24.0))
time = fsub (delta_FP, 51545.0)

Hi Benj
Thanks for the information of works.
Notifies you of the result.

Good weekend

Posted: **Fri Feb 22, 2019 3:29 pm**

Hi Benj
Have inserted codes, you have to write fine.
But it didn't work, still can't see any changes updating printing of Elevation and Azimuth?

Hi everybody
Can I use EEPROM 3 click? Along with Miac dsPIC
Where Date Time can be saved and read from elsewhere in the codes?
https://www.mikroe.com/eeprom-3-click
If EEPROM 3 can be used with Miac dsPIC (MI5009) how to connect EEPROM 3.
Would you like to help with a description of the connection between Miac dsPIC and EEPROM 3 ????

Posted: **Mon Mar 04, 2019 9:01 am**

Hi Monie,
That Click EEPROM would require I2C.
The dsPIC MIAC does not directly have an I2C interface, but it could be done via a System Addon Module with I2C,
such as the Advanced Module or the Serial Module.
Another option would be to use the SD card of the Serial Addon Module.

Did you know that the dsPIC already has an internal 24C32, 32Kbyte EEPROM that can be used for storage?

Posted: **Mon Mar 04, 2019 10:31 am**

HI LeighM
No, I did not show that dsPIC has an internal 24C32, 32Kbyte EEPROM

Have searched a lot on Flowcode forum.

Of course I would like to use this internal EEPROM. OK
Do you want to help with an example of Save and Load - retrieve data from the EEPROM dsPIC has an internal EEPROM.

Posted: **Mon Mar 04, 2019 12:12 pm**

Add "Serial EEPROM (24C32)" component from the "Data" menu, into your project.
Then use Read and Write macros to access the Data bytes at your chosen Address in the EEPROM.

Posted: **Mon Mar 04, 2019 12:36 pm**

HI LeighM

Have here tried to make EEPROM work but without success.
But get a lot of error messages?
Can you see where it goes wrong.
And you have a suggestion!

Hi Monie,

I think you're using the wrong EEPROM component there. You are using the internal EEPROM component which isn't available on the dsPIC MIAC.

The dsPIC MIAC however does have an external EEPROM which requires the Serial EEPROM (24C32) component.

Posted: **Mon Mar 04, 2019 1:24 pm**

Hi Benj
Has added "Serial EEPROM (24C32)" component...

Want to print as Elevation: 25.2 Grades
And Azimuth as 205.5 Grades
Would you like to help with an example?
I'm thinking I'm doing something wrong

Hi everybody
Is there anyone here who can give me a code example of setup serial eeprom.
Please see above attached file!

Hi Monie,
Looks like you just forgot to read and return the values into a variable ...

Hi LeighM
One return the values?
I do not know what you mean.
There must return a Code and how it is written.

Hi LeighM
Thank you very much.

Display not updated?
Display update only when resetting dsPIC
Do you have a suggestion for the problem here?
