24 bit hex value to decimal 8 digit screen output ?

I am looking for a solution that converts a 24 bit hex Value to 8 Digit decimal for displaying on Screen.

Anybody who saw something that might be usefull which i didnt notice yet ?

each hex digit is 4 bit. each byte is made of 2x4bits. 24 bit is made up of 3 8 bit bytes. thus the problem is reductable to a table lookup of 16 elements.


lda byte
and #%00001111 ;converting low 4 bits to screen
tax
lda table_nr_to_hex_digits,x
sta screen

lda byte
lsr
lsr
lsr ;converting high 4 bits to screen
lsr
tax
lda table_nr_to_hex_digits,x
sta screen+1

now you take the 2nd byte and repeat above + change screen location.

now you take the 3rd byte and repeat above.


work out the table and screen locations for yourself.

Oswald, it seems you've forgotten the conversion to decimal.

Does something match from the codebase? https://codebase64.org/doku.php?id=base:io_programming#text_man..

You may try to convert it to a 32 bit BCD number with the shift+add method. Or use the table of powers of ten method. And of course the repeated division/modulo by 10 works too.

6502.org is great for this kind of stuff;

http://6502.org/source/integers/hex2dec.htm

But the general idea is to repeatedly divide by 10 and print the modulo.

Hah! I really should have checked codebase before running all those decruncher speed tests, would have meant I could just type the decimal into my results instead of having hex in my json and decimal only in the reports..

ofcourse...

note to self: dont give code advice at 01:00 am just woken up in the nightshift.
