Convert Hex to dec

[Flouch]

Hi,
i work on flowcode V5 and i don't know how to convert a value from hexadecimal to decimal. I saw this function NumberToHex$() but no the reverse.
Thanks

Good evening.

When a number is a string you can represent it as hex or decimal for display purposes. When a number is stored as an integer it has no base - hex or decimal, it is the same thing.

What is it you need to do the conversion for?

I did an article that includes a flowchart which will convert hex to decimal and decimal back to hex.

Hi thanks for answer i need to do this programs (a part of my main programs)

Read the RSSI status register
2) Convert the reading from a hexadecimal
number to a decimal number (RSSI_dec)
3) If RSSI_dec ≥ 128 then RSSI_dBm =
(RSSI_dec - 256)/2 – RSSI_offset
4) Else if RSSI_dec < 128 then RSSI_dBm =
(RSSI_dec)/2 – RSSI_offset

Hello.I see - I think the data sheet is a little unclear here.

The value is already a decimal - Twos-compliment is the format that most processors store their integers in now.

If I were you I would just skip this step and see if this works for your results, as I am unsure as to why a data sheet would add something that confusing.

Cheers,

Jonny
