Hey everyone,

I have some problem with my LCD.
The problem is when i from 1 increase to 100, the LCD show normal.
But i decrease from 100 to 1, there is some problem showing in the LCD

when from 100 decrease to 99, my lcd will show 990----> how to clear the zero behind the 99?
 

Re: Problem with the LCD

Hi,
Best way is to write all 3-digits every time. Then number is aligned to right; So it would be 001,002,...099,100.
For that you may write Hundreds-digit first then tens-digit then units-digit.

When you decrease also, you should write all three digits; so it would be 100,099,098...001

Or you may write "Space" (ASCII 32) when ever you want to delete a character where cursor is at; this way you can remove un-necessary tailing digits.

Wish you success !

Re: Problem with the LCD

if its c your using

when you printf the value
you can use
%.1d this gives 2 decimal number or

like

char decimal=23;
printf( "%.1d",decimal);

will print 23 and not 23.0 or 023


Tips on printf

see here for a list of the control charicters for printf
 

Re: Problem with the LCD

Hi,
Follow this tutorial;(it's in Mplab-assembly)
PIC Tutorial  Three - LCD Modules -Tutorial 3.2

It converts 16bit Binary to Decimal and store 5 digits on separate 5 registers;
Then it always writes these 5 digits on LCD.

I guess you count something like a pulse; which always have increment or decrement by 1 only. Is it ?
If so it would be more easy to code. If you explain how you have stored your number in memory(like in a single-register or 3-registers for 3-digits); more specific explanation can be showed.

Thank you,
