| Digits lost in sprintf string |

Hi
I am creating a string to transmit over a serial port. The code is mostly fine, but I have a problem with "%04X" in sprintf; it loses the first 2 digits. For example if I want to print 0x0697 to a string, only 0x97 is written.
Below is a snippet of my code:
| Code: |
int8 txbuf[20];
int16 adc = 0;
int16 crc=0xFFFF;
int8 button;
adc = read_adc();
button = input(PIN_B0);
crc = update_crc(crc, adc);
crc = update_crc(crc, button);
sprintf(txbuf, "@%04X%02X%04X\r", adc, button, crc);
|
Can someone please explain why the %04 format specifier is dropping the first 2 digits.
Kind regards
Andrew |

| I haven't tried sprintf in CCS, but printf requires %04Lx on most of my boards |

Yes, I know the CCS manual suggests what you are doing SHOULD give the result you want.
I've not tested it, but I suspect jeremiah is probably correct.
What he says makes sense, there is likely an error in the CCS manual.

Have you tried using %04LX ?
L is for long integer which is 16 bits in CCS |

hello guys,
Thank you for your replies. Using "%04LX" solved the problem.
