16F688 USART and Hyperterminal data

[newx2c]

Hi,

I am using a 16f688 mc to read a temperature sensor and send the data to the HyperTerminal on a PC. So far I was successful in setting up the ADC and the UART to cmmunicate with the with the PC but not suuccessful with my lookup table yet. I can send characters to the PC with no problems but only one character at the time.
My question is how to send my data to the PC after reading the ADC value
For example 23•C or -10•C like a string I am using assambler, any ideas or suggestions?


Thanks,

U want to send the ascii of 2 and then the ascii of 3 etc etc to display it on the hyperterminal.
so, if u have an unsigned int say 'temperature', then u want to convert it to a string and send it to PC via uart.
in C what i will do is,

void temp_to_usrt(unsigned int q)
{
send_uart(48+(q/1000));q%=1000; //48 is the ascii of 0
send_uart(48+(q/100));q%=100;
send_uart(48+(q/10));q%=10;
send_uart(48+(q));
send_uart(248); //ascii of degree
send_uart(67); //ascii of letter C
}

the above function will convert the int to ascii of corresponding digits and will send one by one to PC ,msb first. After sending digits, it will send • and then C.

Thanks vinodstanur ,
I will try this, so far no luck with my lookup table

Here is my code, ADC and USART are working properly the only problem is the lookup table i need to test my output for 0-255 (0.5 increments) since it is an 8 bits register. i do need some negative readings but for now I like to solve the positive first.
Any ideas or suggestions

Thanks,

which is the temperature sensor you used. Lm35 or any other sensor? If you are using lm35 you need to convert the hex value to its original voltage value. You can use this equation. V = adc value * 5/255. From the datasheet of your sensor you can easly calculate the exact temperature
