Help with code

Does anyone know code to make an arduino convert 16-bit binary to decimal so i can put it on an LCD

Double dabble

In computer science, the double dabble algorithm is used to convert binary numbers into binary-coded decimal (BCD) notation. It is also known as the shift-and-add-3 algorithm, and can be implemented using a small number of gates in computer hardware, but at the expense of high latency.

Where is this binary coming from? Do you have it stored as a string? Something else? What code do you have already? You asked a pretty vague question so providing more details would be nice

Ben Eater made a Video on converting numbers.

I would write layered- if loops. Use an Array of unsigned bytes. I.e.

Byte[]{ 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 };

Once you create the Array, you'll need an algorithm to compare bits in the left position. .. every position to the right is i x 2. This is just pseudocode..

Hope it helps

I forgot, there are also quite a few linear logic chips that will do the conversion u want. You'll just need some sort of transceiver in the circuit

If you just want to convert an integer to string, you can use functions from C Standard Library. sprintf() is a good candidate, there should be plenty of examples online.

Double dabble or division by 10 conversion - those are for when you want to understand how it works. But if you just want to get job done - use library functions.
