Hello,

First, I'm new in programming ClassPad BASIC. 

For a project I implemented a code into an AVR which emulates the ClassPad communication protocol. After that and some adc-code, the microcontroller puts out the voltage as an UART string every two seconds. The ClassPad receives this string without any problems but of course it's not possible to calculate with a string.

Is there a possibility to convert a string into a number to calculate with?

In C there exists atoi to do this.

I will go on trying some other ways (e.g. all calculations could be done by the AVR) but I think it's better if the calculations are done by ClassPad.

Maybe I have to switch to C++ to build a ClassPad Add-In but this should be the last way .




Thanks for answers

Thanks DrCoyote,

I solved it another way:

StrLen adc, l
	   1 => i
	   0 => z
	   While i < l+1
	   ChrToNum adc, b, i
	   10*z+(b-48) => z
	   i+1 => i
	   WhileEnd

"adc" contains the string to convert (only numbers); z ist the numerical order of "adc".

I wasn't sure, if "strToExp(" could handle this type but I'll try this command.
