Special symbols on LCD with PIC16F877A in CCS C Compiler

[john120]

Hello guys I am writing a program in ccs c which will display a percantage of calculations made but I have a great problem to display for example 10% on the lcd.

for example how can I collect this for the lcd to print out 52%:

delay_ms(500);
printf(lcd_putc,"\f52");
delay_ms(500);

thx

A single '%' is usually reserves as a format specifier but if you use two together "%%" printf usually prints one of them untouched. So printf(lcd_putc,"\f52%%"); should work. I can't check with CCS but that's how it normally works.

send hex value 0x25

Try this:

printf(lcd_putc(0x25));

It works with CCS, too.
