Simple Casting
PostPosted: Mon Apr 29, 2019 4:01 pm     Reply with quote

So simple I am embarrassed to ask.

Code:
pretrigger_value = 1234;
   MSB = (int)(pretrigger_value>>8);       // MSB
    LSB = (int)pretrigger_value;            // LSB


runs but does not give correct numbers. MSB = 4 and LSB -46 are what I get.

pretrigger_value is defined as INT16.

MSB and LSB are INT8.

What is the correct way to get the MSB and LSB from and INT16? and is there a more efficient way to do it than the >> operator?

It's all in your interpretation. You like to use signed decimal printouts,
but you're really dealing with the hexadecimal world. If you stay in hex,
most of your problems will go bye-bye.

1234 is 0x4D2 (using Windows 7 Prof. calculator in Programmer mode).

So 0x0D2 is the lsb. So select Hex and Byte (two different radio buttons
in Windows 7 calculator). Then type in D2. Then select Decimal and it now displays: -46
So -46 is correct.

Thanks, I knew I was just missing the obvious. I should not code during hay fever season.
