Question

I have a standard c function with the following prototype

extern void lcd_puts(const char *s);

in my other function i have something like this

send_to_lcd() {
  uint8_t count = 10
  lcd_puts(count);
}

my question is how do i convert count to a string pointer to be able to send it to lcd_puts
which should print out the count on a lcd screen

thanks

Answer 1

sprintf will format a string

Quick example:

char buf[50];
uint8_t count = 10;
sprintf(buf,'%d',count);

lcd_puts(buf);
