That's new to me....

Neat!

I moved this into a small component (I called it NumberUtilities - maybe more routines to come?) The source is still called ToBinary :-) I added a Value and ToString macros that take either a string and a base or a value and a base. Base can be from 2 (binary) up to 16 (hex) - although could be exte...

Hi Bob, Looks like a neat solution - reduces transmission time by 50%. It's a good optimisation. I'll have a play at putting it into a component - if you don't use a function the compiler will optimise it away (at least when it's compiled, I'm not sure what the situation with web apps is) - or as an...

I added a binary string (in the form "101010101" with upto 32 characters) to value function too. In simulation I've added the various variables to the viewer so that you can compare them (ie check they are correct :-) ) Note that it doesn't check the validity of the string (so "10ABC&...

Pseudocode is just a way to describe an algorithm. Although FC can display code as (a) pseudocode too. I converted ToBinary to FC - and tested in s8imulation. Here I just pass constants to the macro - although variables could also be used as the arguments. If we added a BinaryToValue - that takes a ...

Adding a ToBinary function is an interesting programming exercise: In effect you need (in pseudocode here): ToBinary(long unsigned x, byte digits) return string// Take a number (up to 32 bits) and convert to a string locals byte i = 0, string res[33] loop while .i < .digits res[.i] = ((.x & (1 <...

But tis hardware only at the moment...

The 7-segment display is fairly easy to implement too - if you can write the data to the display register. Just need to calculate a 'character set' (for example for a rotating star) and then output at intervals. For real fireworks - there is the 16 segment display :-) (Though the one I did didn't wo...

Have you tried Zadig (with libusb-win32)

It's available from https://zadig.akeo.ie/

I've used it several times in the past - and it seems safe and reliable.. Usual provisos apply though.

Rather than using an if .... statement to calculate the parity bit (and brackets might change the result here if (.x == 1) || (.x == 3) etc (you have if x==1 && x= 3 && x=5... which can't ever be true) Depending on whether you need odd or even parity: Use .parity = .x & 1 Returns...
